HBO's 'Chernobyl' Is A Dramatization Of 1986 Nuclear AccidentHBO's five-part series Chernobyl is a compelling drama about one of the world's worst nuclear accidents. It's also a look at the dangers of a government where politics are more important than reality.

How HBO Got It Wrong On ChernobylI was hoping HBO would have the courage and integrity to do their homework about radiation and consult even 1 nuclear scientist or radiobiologists. Or even read the U.N. Chernobyl Forum Report. But nooo…they decided that talking to journalists, historians and antinuclear activists was much better.
