In the Soviet Union, the Chernobyl disaster came quietly — we didn’t understand anything at first, just saw strange signs and heard the word “radiation” everywhere. We tried to protect our family the only way we knew how, while sending our children away without knowing when we would see them again. And even when life seemed normal again, that fear — and the bitter taste of iodine on bread — stayed with us forever. #USSR #sovietunion #history #story #чернобыль #тихонеспеша #черемша

Voyager Probes Reveal Sun Shields Earth from Deadly Cosmic Radiation

In 1987, a radioactive contamination accident occurred in Goiânia after an unsecured radiotherapy source was discovered at an abandoned hospital site. The material was handled by multiple people, leading to widespread exposure. Around 112,000 individuals were examined for contamination, with 249 confirmed cases and four people sadly passed away. The incident remains one of the most serious radioactive contamination events in Brazil’s history. Credits: Characters, trailer park and more by Elbolil
