Episode 353 - CHERNOBYL

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

The world’s most infamous nuclear disaster officially killed just thirty-one people, but in reality it’s death toll is incalculable. Raining radioactive debris over a city, and melting the skin off the on-site workers, the explosion and subsequent meltdown at Chernobyl reactor 4 is one of the most devastating man-made accidents in history. 

This is the story of how fear, bureaucracy, and lies first brought down a nuclear power station, which then brought down a nation.
