You are invited to a special conference CHERNOBYL Twenty Years Later A Public Health and Environmental Assessment On April 26, 1986 a fire at Ukraine's Chernobyl Nuclear Station resulted in the abandonment of seventeen villages, relocation of hundreds of thousands of people and a ban on export of the region's agriculture. As California moves away from coal and petroleum-based electricity, the time is right to reflect on nuclear power, its promise as well as its problems. The twentieth anniversary of the Chernobyl accident offers this opportunity. Speakers include: Yelena Zmushko will show her autobiographical film Chernobyl 20. David R. Marples, University of Alberta, on "Twenty Years after Chernobyl: Dealing with a health and demographic crisis in Belarus." Daniel Hirsch, president, Committee to Bridge the Gap, on "Chernobyl's Victims:The extent of radiation poisoning, cancer and other disease." Angelina M. Galiteva, chairperson, World Council for Renewable Energy, on "Strategic Opportunities in Renewable Energy." Rochelle Becker, president, The Utility Reform Network, on "Nuclear Accidents: Can it happen here?"
