Why
In 1986, on April 26, a power plant near the town of Chornobyl (or Chernobyl in the Russified spelling) became the site of the worst nuclear accident in history.
In remembrance of the Chornobyl catastrophe, the Nuclear Free Collective invites you to a vigil at 5:30pm on Monday 27 April, on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral. Bring a candle as we extend our solidarity and sympathy to many thousands of victims; past, present and future
We must never forget Chornobyl. The catastrophe is ongoing, especially in the current context of war. Most of Ukraine's five nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities have come under direct shelling in recent years. This includes Chornobyl, where the dome designed to contain the site's radiation was damaged in a drone strike last year.
Nuclear facilities readily become military targets. Nuclear: never safe.
Hope to see you there.
