March 28, 2011, Los Angeles, CA - BACM Research’s PaperlessArchives.com has announced the publishing of a new collection of United States government documents related to the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster. The collection includes material from the CIA, Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Congress, GAO, and U.S. government foreign press monitoring files.

The thousands of pages of Chernobyl documents can be accessed for free at http://www.paperlessarchives.com/chernobyl_nuclear_accident_doc.html

The ongoing nuclear accident at Japan’s Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant has renewed interest in past disasters such as Kyshtym, Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl.

On Sunday April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near Pripyat, Ukraine, reactor #4 exploded. For the 25 years from 1986 to 2011, this incident has been referred to as the world’s worst nuclear power plant accident. It is still the only incident ranked a 7 on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale produced by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

These documents give a 25 year overview of the social, environmental, health, and political ramifications of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. The 25 year aftermath of Chernobyl may foretell the events that will be experienced by Japan and the world.

Contents of this new document collection includes:
