I also remember taking a dose of iodine in 1986... no wonder that when they wanted to build nuclear power plant near my city (before 1989, so a Russian design) there was a wave of protests and the project was cancelled. I once visited a site where this plant was meant to be built.
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

I remember how I was playing outside in the rain with a friend that evening, when our parents frantically called us inside almost angry at us. According to weather forecasts, the wind had carried varied amounts of radioactive material from the detonated reactorblock straight over germany and many other european countries. Seeing the grownups being so scared and the cartoon trajectory of the radioactive fallout spreading over neighbouring countries of ukraine and beyond shown in the news on television, really left a deep impression. I recall spending over an hour under the shower (d'oh how I despise unintentional rhyming).
It was a scary time back then, and it really changed my outlook on the bliss of nuclear energy.

QuoteThis is among the best computer role playing games ever made. Especially the 'post nuclear 60s' style won them many design prizes (especially the cool cartoon illustrations that came along with it).
Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game
Set in the aftermath of a world-wide nuclear war, Fallout will challenge you to survive in an unknown and dangerous world. You will take the role of a Vault-dweller, a person who has grown up in a secluded, underground survival Vault. Circumstances arise that force you to go Outside -- to a strange world 80 years after the end of the modern civilization. A world of mutants, radiation, gangs and violence.
Your immediate task is to find a replacement for the broken water purification controller chip. Without that chip, your fellow Vault dwellers are doomed to dehydration or be forced to leave the safety of the Vault for the Outside.
The first game they made was actually 'Wasteland', a spinoff of the famous 'Bard's Tale' computer role playing game. There's also an excellent sequel, also worth taking a look at. Unfortunately the development team was dissolved in the middle of the production of the greatly anticipated third installment in the series.

I did, a long time ago, it's kinda cool.
If you thought that chernobyl site was shocking (and it was), check out this one: http://www.inicom.com/hibakusha/ - i've read them all 2 or 3 times each, and it always makes me sick to my stomach... And if that still dosen't make you hate nuclear war, I recomend movies like "Day After", "When the Wind Blows" and "Threads".
Albert Einstein once said "I don't know how World War 3 will be fought, but I know how the fourth one will: with sticks and stones."
