My topic of research involves the incident in Chernobyl in which an error caused one of the largest nuclear disasters to befall mankind. My point of view for the paper will be that of someone who wasn’t in the immediate disaster zone but was nonetheless affected by the nuclear fallout resulting from the disaster. The effects of the disaster were vast. Many people outside of Ukraine and even the USSR felt its impacts.
This seems like it’s going to be a rather interesting perspective. The fallout from the disaster traveled to many nearby areas and countries. Because of this, many people didn’t know they were being exposed to dangerous amounts of radiation until they started exhibiting side effects. These included things like birth defects and higher rates of cancer. The problems arising from this disaster, though not as severe as those exhibited by those in the initial disaster zone, were substantial.
