Very interesting breakdown of the history of the plant, and the accident here. Just a heads up though, there is a bit about the radiation poisoning thats fairly graphic

It's excellent. The accents are a bit jarring initially but you get used to it.

I'd also recommend the podcasts realised after the episodes , the shows writer takes part in them and discusses the making of the show.

Well worth listening to an edition of the guardians "Today if Focus" podcast called "Are our Blueberries Radioactive ?".
 
Its about the aftermath/legacy of the accident in Chernobyl. It seems that Blueberries are grown on orchards on contaminated land in Belarus. When the blueberries are harvested they are tested for radioactivity levels and seperated between safe and unsave. The blueberries are then mixed in such a way that when retested, the overall level of radioactivity is safe.
 
The Blueberries are exported to the EU for packaging and sale.
