Forsmarks kärnkraftverk
Photo by Artlover, LH

Before we knew what the radioactive fallout came from, it was thought that it came from the Forsmark nuclear power plant because, among other places, the highest fallout occurred there. But it was shown later that a nuclear accident had occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear power plant in Ukraina, in the former Soviet Union. The radioactive dust is carried by winds from Russia to Sweden and to other places in Europe. It happened in April 1986. It was the worst nuclear power plant disaster in history.
For the theme I have chosen the power of the Forsmark nuclear power plant. Nuclear power has been overshadowed by the accident, dangerosness and its dubious radioactive disposal of waste. It is that feeling I want to convey with this image. Nuclear power is an excellent source of energy. But uranium is also a finite source of energy such as oil, coal and gas. When are we gonna be more of energy from the sun?
