And in a sense, Pat, what's so important to say today is what brought the relevance of Chernobyl back centre stage for all of the wrong reasons in February 2022.
with the Russian invasion assault of Chernobyl.
Do you know what?
Now, we fought for the sarcophagus and our government was brilliant.
We were one of the... Just so people don't know, it's basically a concrete enclosure to keep what's left of the reactor in.
of very radioactive material, which is left inside like a rumbling radioactive volcano.
So to stop another explosion, and this was to last for 100 years.
Ireland was a big contributor to that.
It took 20 years to build.
Bill Clinton was very involved in it.
And this was to protect us until they came up with another solution of what you do with what's inside.
It was like the Titanic, which was unsinkable until it sank.
This was impregnable until a drone attack on Valentine's Day, above all days.
went right through and now it has compromised the whole facility.
So there's just some new reports coming out now for the anniversary that's saying there is a definite concern that the reactor underneath could start releasing radioactivity.
And they're at war.
Pat, I still can't believe, because this is the first time in the history of the atomic age that a nuclear facility has been included as a weapon of war.
For the first time, they have weaponised nuclear facilities.
It's like a collision between nuclear power and modern warfare.
And actually, the world doesn't even really realise what that meant.
