If you want to see how close the world came to a nuclear disaster only the Russians could create, watch the series Chernobyl!! I saw it on Crave TV, it is a 6 part mini series. A real eye opener as to why some countries should not have anything nuclear at all.

I remember 3 Mile Island.
I am sure there is a story there!
That year, I went out for Halloween as a 3 Mile Island Nuclear Worker .... Lizard Head, Lab Coat and Tail..... green tail! It was hilarious.
