What you're trying to do when you write is to crowd the reader out of his own space and occupy it with yours, in a good cause. You're trying to take over his sensibility and deliver an experience that moves from mere information.

Chernobyl

 

A guy where I consult referred me to the web site of a person who traveled to Chernobyl on motorcycle and took pictures.

Ghost Town is a modern Pompeii. The Soviet era is preserved here - in the radiation, for 18 years.
It's a pretty interesting tour.

In light of North Korea's and Iran's latest accomplishments, I'd say it's important to remember the damage that nuclear materials can cause.
