but Chernobyl was closer.
Does anybody remember the other even bigger nuclear disaster that happened in the USSR back in the 60s somewhere in central Asia. I wish I could remember the name of the place but back then there was even more secrecy and no foreign surveillance and the Russians managed to keep it secret for a long time. As I recall it was some kind of explosion that poisoned a much larger area than the Chernobyl "dead zone" and is still uninhabitable today.
