TORONTO, April 25 /CNW Telbec/ - It was safe until the explosion. Tomorrow's anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 recalls all the dangers of nuclear power, vividly portrayed in a new website that poses the question: What if a similar accident happened in Toronto? The site, 30km.ca, superimposes the 30 km evacuation zone that was permanently depopulated after the Chernobyl accident onto the Greater Toronto Area. Using the Pickering nuclear station as the epicenter, the website outlines a disaster scenario that would displace 2.5 million people from Yonge Street to Oshawa.
