Impressed,
I remember the disaster, I was 10 or 11 back than. 
I life in the Netherlands, some 2000 km from Kiev (maybe more).And even in The Netherlands Rad-levels increased, I remember that all the very old and very young where summoned to their doctors to get some Iodine-salt (I hope I translate this correctly) to withstand the higher Rad-Levels. 
So imagine the impact on the people over there still living in the area, HUGE......
