A Message In A Bottle · Page 4

Two builders in hard hats study a plan in front of cranes on a building site.

They built the Chernobyl nuclear reactor there in 1964. A nuclear reactor was a new sort of factory for making lots of energy very quickly. They wanted this energy for electricity to run their lights and machines.

A nuclear reactor is a very dangerous thing but they believed that lots of cheap electricity would make everyone’s life easier… and some people would get very rich. It was called progress.

People sometimes make mistakes. It was just a mistake that caused the accident at reactor number four.
