Journal 22

Today I am going to try something different, I am actually going to use this journal for a real purpose, not that my random ramblings aren't a purpose. Today I am going to talk about the new assignment we went over in class. I picked Chernobyl for the topic of my research paper. I am actually very excited to learn more about this topic. I have always been interested in how something as catastrophic to not only the Ukraine but the whole world happened and how people are making sure that it never happens again. So to start this out I am going to lay out what I hope to learn and write about in the paper. There are so many ways to look at a disaster like this and I hope to cover as many as them as I can so my paper could be possibly useful to others than myself. First I will focus on how the accident happened, this is an obvious one, but it seems like a good way to lead into the paper. I will also hit on how it affected the surrounding people and environment. And finally and this is a biggie to me, I want to focus on how it is being prevented today since from the little researching I did today there are still reactors identical to the ones used in chernobyl being used today.
