At this moment in 1986 (1:23:45am local time, April 26), the poorly-designed Chernobyl Unit 4 nuclear reactor in Pripyat, Ukraine, exploded and partially melted down during an unapproved, poorly-conceived safety experiment, releasing at least 378,000,000 curies of dangerous radionuclides.

Another super episode. I know nothing about basketball in Poland in the Cold War- but this was nonetheless really engaging and Washington a superb speaker and really rather humble too. Would certainly buy the book if I ever see it.

Easter reading includes finishing “Dear Unknown Friend”, thanks to @coldwarpod.bsky.social and I’m thinking about some of these thoughtful exchanges that survived no matter what politics threw at these women.
