THE NUCLEAR FLOWER

The locations of the nuclear power stations is unknown and their positions
as indicated on the map of Australia are not to be assumed to be correct.

This is an account of what happened in the Ukraine and could happen at any one of the twenty five nuclear power stations to be built in Australia.

Read on and take what action you deem appropriate.

As every second passes there is less time and the nearer we are to a living death; just like the folk of Chernobyl...

Elena as a child

Elena Filatova has grown up to be a beautiful and courageous woman with experience behind her and a mission before her to tell the story of a distaster that much of the world prefers to forget.

 

I have been priviliged in being permitted by Elena (who lives in Kiev) to post from her web page to help convey in a small way the horrors of nuclear contamination.
