lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Chernobyl disaster was not an exception, and, as such, not something which was typical of one type of nuclear power station which was produced and used in the former Soviet Union. Even before 1986, there was the disaster in Harrisburg in the US, where an overheated and melting nuclear reactor threatened to sink into the ground. The fact is that since the 1950s, there has been too much optimism worldwide about the characteristics of nuclear energy. It was expected to be a non-exhaustive source of cheap and clean energy, but instead it turned out to be a risky business which, even after production was stopped, continued seriously to pollute the environment. Fifteen years after the disaster, a large area in Belarus and Ukraine is still not inhabitable for people who do not want to get cancer. Those who stay have become dependent on government aid, and those who should be able to help those most affected avoid or leave the area. Food from the polluted area remains unsuitable for consumption. To solve this situation, we do not need a new type of nuclear power station, but rather a recovery plan for the affected area, alternative ways of generating energy, as well as energy-saving measures. Only a financial contribution is in the interest of all Europeans; anything else will just lead to wasted energy and to future disasters."@en1
