Anyone interested in what can happen in a Chernobyl-type incident should view the photos on this site. During the first day, the fallout from Chernobyl went straight N into a desolate, lightly populated area of the Ukraine. The wind shifted and it it turned West and continued across the Ukraine and a mostly sparsely populated area of Poland. Then the fallout crossed mostly ocean waters before reaching Iceland and continuing around the world. A few other Northern European countries got more radioactive fallout than they wanted or needed but Chernobyl was not nearly the catastrophe Three-mile Island would have been had they not figured out the two explosions were really Hydrogen explosions. The Three-mile Island reactor came within 20-25 minutes of making most of NYC, Long Island and much of Southern New England uninhabitable.
