Russia, Ukraine’s main supplier, has imposed a ban on the transportation of nuclear fuel across Ukraine due to “the unstable situation in the country”, the Kiev post reports, citing Russia’s deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin. It says Rogozin told a meeting between the president and government ministers today:

We have problems with the transit of nuclear fuel through Ukrainian territory to our partners in Eastern Europe, and there are issues related to supplies of fuel to nuclear power plants in Ukraine itself

The Ukrainian NPPs [nuclear power plants] have fuel reserves for March and April A ban has so far been imposed on such transportation of fuel due to the unstable situation in the country.

1. Y'know... Chernobyl

Do you ever wonder what that mess has done to the Ukraine?

It has been said that a million people were made to have an early death due to the radiation emitting from that blown up nuke plant. And that malformed babies are directly attributable to the same radiation which is almost as strong as ever.

Nah, Chernobyl has not effected the Ukraine at all, I'm sure. Or am I?
