Margaret’s visit to Chernobyl was rather different from her usual trips to Nepal, Alaska or Baltistan. It seemed improbable that thirty years after a nuclear disaster that could well have devastated the planet, it would be possible to walk through the streets of abandoned houses and marvel at the engineering skills that have buried the Number Three Reactor beneath an immense sarcophagus. Most of our Speaker Meetings are rather less thought provoking, but equally interesting as we try to be aware of what goes on in our world and respond as best we can to those who have suffered from such disasters.
