Chernobyl Children's Project
This online art gallery displays work from the young victims of Chernobyl who have cancer and other illnesses. It's created by a charitable group in Ireland. Browse a video clip (be patient with the download), photographs, poems, and paintings created by children. A warning, however. It's bleak. Fourteen-year-old Natasha explains how "when I look in the mirror I can foresee my own radiation death." The site doesn't include any scientific information. Also missing is a section dealing with the children's psychological and physical recovery.

Facts and Documents on Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster
This site is an index of links put together by a virtual guide named Alexander Artsyukhovich. The links connect to Russian and Eastern European agencies. Several get you secret documents from the Soviet-era government about Chernobyl (in Russian). Under the Black Box.com link, there's a section on health effects on farm animals in Belarus, including eye mutations in pigs. It's all from a book called Chernobyl: Insight from the Inside by V.M. Chernousenko. Another excerpt from the book tells the story of the "rectifiers" - the groups of workers who came from all over the country to clean up the reactor.
