Chernobyl: Important Events and Facts to Consider

Today in English class I started on my research assignment. I made a note of several facts which will need to be included in my paper. My paper is dealing with the nuclear disaster which ocurred in Chernobyl in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1986. My paper deals with the experiences of someone outside of the immediate "disaster" zone. As such I will have to include some facts providing context.

My paper will most likely be in the form of a diary or log as it is dealing more with the effects of prolonged exposure as opposed to a single, immediately visible devastating impact (i.e. the effects of the Chernobyl Disaster on residents of Chernobyl as well as areas located next to it.)

Researching the Chernobyl Disaster has proven to be quite interesting. Hopefully the paper generated will be interesting as well.

  1. Your blog post made me want to look up Chernobyl. I really just went on google images and it was really interesting looking at the disfigured people. I felt terrible bad though that these people have to live their lives like this. This must of been a real interesting topic to research and making a diary or log would be really cool way to describe this topic. I researched Columbine school shooting was also a very interesting topic and I wanted to do a diary style piece but it was short to really do a diary and it really wouldn't of made that much sense. Well I hope that your final piece goes the way that you want it to do. I sure you will do very well because the more interesting your topic the more you want to put in to your own paper.
