The worlds worst (Known) nuclear Accident?
When we see documentary evidence of the clean up operation that followed this incident back in the mid 1980's we lack information on the many types of vehicles that were employed? We see that helicopter pilots had to sacrifice their lives to drop concrete on what was technically a mini Sun revealed within the casing of the collapsed reactor!
Mil Mi-6, 26 and 8's were used in various overflights and many were lost or overpowered be the intense heat and radiation that would have caused sickness. Much has been written about this leak, which was caused by lack of care and an attempt by slack Ukrainians administrators to meet Soviet documented requirements?
Recently the European Union (France) has finished placing a new concrete shell on to the plant to again cut the amount of Gamma rays leaking, but despite this enormous work and achievement another crack has is reported by the Ukrainians to have developed!
We do not really know how much radioactive exposure our atmosphere is suffering with a second year of mass heatwaves across Europe! Governments will not report on this situation because there is no real alternative to nuclear power to cut down on the burning of fossil fuels?

Tractors. Part-Two.
Construction, Engineering and Mining.
This is perhaps not the place one would think to find the need for the tractor, but some of the machines we use today came first from these uses. Caterpillar is one of several companies that developed tracked machines for working in heavy soils, this was the same in Soviet Russian Steppes where land was not intersected by ditches as in the west.
Today many giant machines working in all of the titled areas are tractors, limited by speed and used to move loads about in tight spots even underground. These machines do not look like our idea of the farm machines but they are mechanically the same, the Bulldozer is in fact a converted tractor for the road and building construction industry.
The future for the tractor of all types will be there Robotising into unmanned piloted vehicles, from vast area farming to construction, tunnelling and mining. May be the only human contact in the near future will be for repairing and cleaning?
