sad how we just screwed up something big for the next 24,000 years. entirely uninhabitable because of us, when it used to be fertile.
well, mother earth can deal with that... but let it be a lesson. either know what youre doing, or dont do it, silly humans. even now we still know so little about nuclear shizzle, and we use it so much...
we're pretty much riding the crest of the wave here, humanity. we know nothing about what we're doing, just touching the surface, but using what we know and what we assume to do what has to be done... perpetuating the crisis. we need to slow down and figure out where we're going <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
.. just off-off-topic, the whole "patch of uninhabitable dead-zone" sort of reminds me of terry-pratchett's wizard ideas... where the great wizard wars left many many patches of land that had so much magic expelled into the area that it was uninhabitable, and all this crazy sh*t happened there. mm..
I don't know, what I find most disturbing about Chernobyl is how quickly nature began reclaiming everything.
Theres something just disturbing knowing humanity is expendable, and that the earth will quickly overtake our structures and technology if left unchecked.

If I haul off and shoot a wolf in the face, it'll be just as dead as if I did that to a human. That's the same definition of expendable as both Mantrid and myself were using. Obviously no wolves has an effect on the ecosystem, but so will no humans. In both cases it would balance out (in your example - super low plants means deer population falls - plant population rises, it starts to balance out until the population graph isn't so wobbly).
Let's stop neffing now and let the nice people talk about Chernobyl.
