No Chernobyl used Turbines, not Pistons (Cylinders)
Did you really think I thought a nuke was a reciprocating engine? I said that's what blew the top off the building. It has nothing to do with generating power. So it was a poor analogy, but I was comparing the movement of a piston to the "movement" of the top of the building.
Well I thought that what you thought, but fortunately I was wrong

Yeah, Bulgarian nationalist historians.
Actually this is written in Britanica too  and in many russian books.
Quote:
the russians (in time of Peter the Great) start to use it.
No. They used it a lot earlier. Slovo o polku Igoryeve was written with Cyrillic, as well as the Primary Chronicle (Povest' Vremennykh Let).
But it is official in the time ot Peter the Great And even if it was use a lot earlier the alphabet was created for the bulgarians by bulgarians in Bulgaria.

NO. It was used everywhere. Glagolithic was hardly used in Russia. And the Russians started using Cyrillic almost right after they converted to Christianity. Peter the Great simply reformed it, taking out several letters and modernizing the writing.

I thought for sure I had this bookmarked, but I didn't. It took me a few hours to find it again, but it's worth it. Not recommended for dial up users (15Meg).
The animation shows the pattern of radiation exposure across Europe and western Asia over approximately a 10 day period. It's the level of cesium 137 in the air at 0-10 meters above the ground.
Note that you are only seeing this thin slice of the atmosphere and the radiation could be completely different at other altitudes, but you can't see vertical movement in the animation. This "might" explain why it appears that the level of leakage from the plant increased around May 3. I haven't read anything that indicated the leakage increased after several days, so I assume that the weather pattern kept the radiation near ground level around that time. As you get further from the Chernobyl, you are seeing the net result of both lateral and vertical air movement.

An unrelated Slav-oriented discussion without me??

Well Nikola Tesla was a Serb, he invented the practical electric power, but we don't say many countries are using OUR electricity St. Climent of Ohrid wrote (basically by just modifying the Glagolithic) the Cyrillic alphabet simply as an upgrade of the language written by Cyril (in honour of which the Cyrillic alphabet got its name), a Greek missionary that was supposed to bring the letters to all Slavic peoples. Hence, it was meant for all Slavic peoples, not just Bulgarian; it was simply a coincidence that St. Climent was Bulgarian, just like it was a coincidence that Tesla was Serbian, sir Isaak Newton British, Einstein German and so on. The great deeds of those scientists don't lie in their countries but in them as individuals.

shocking videos,im spechless...
only 1% of the total amount of radiation was released from the reactor and from the three reactor there only 1 collapsed.
Now you can imagine what deavstation it could have caused with the remaining reactors.

Nikola Tesla was a Croat and contributed mostly to Austria.The surname "Tesla" is of croatian inheritance.Serbs have no surnames such as tesla.While it might sound stupid,US says he is american,Croats say he is a croat,austrians saa he is ausrtian and lastly,the one that was mentioned by the quote.
I praise him as a great scientist who contributed to humanity by advancing the research of magnetic fields from which particle accelerators work.
While it it is insignificant,he prasied austria for all his inventions.

Tesla's father was a Serbian Orthodox priest. His mother's father was also a Serbian Orthodox priest. His religion was Orthodox, which is characteristic neither to Austria nor Croatia. He lived in the then Serb-populated territory of Lika, and Serbs dwelling there inhabited the region as a sort of Austria's defense against the Turks.
Visiting Belgrade in 1892, he said:
"If I'm lucky enough to fulfill even some of my ideas, it will do good for the entire mankind. If these hopes are fulfilled, my sweetest thought shall be that it was the deed of a Serb."
And in his speech to the students of Belgrade's Great School (also in 1892.) he said:
"I have, as you can see, remained a Serb even across the sea, where I am working on my experiments. You too should be the same and raise the glory of Serbdom with your work and knowledge in the world."
That doesn't sound like a Croat.
Also, one of my pals (who happens to be a Serb) has the surname Tesla. So much about it not being a Serbian name.
In fact, the only thing that connects Tesla to Croats is that he was born in a region in today's Croatia.
Even on Croatian wikipedia it says that Tesla was an orthodox Serb (and, I just checked, the Albanian one also says he was born in a Serbian family).
This whole discussion is, of course, completely off topic and I really don't think Tesla's genius could be connected to a nationality. Still, I appreciate your efforts to take a dung over everything Serbian, but facts are simply against you on this one and I urge you to read up before making such comments.

This whole "it's ours" thing is ridiculous, not just on a nationalistic basis, but also... common sense.
If someone discovers the speed of light and calls it "his" discovery... do you really think that it would otherwise remain a mystery forever? Or that people who use it wouldn't have otherwise discovered it themselves?
