BERLIN — Heinz Smital was a 24-year-old nuclear physics researcher when he first saw how far nuclear contamination could spread after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. A few days after it occurred he waved a damp cloth out of a window at the University of Vienna to sample the city's air and was shocked by how many radionuclides could be seen under a microscope. 'Technetium, Cobalt, Cesium 134, Cesium 137 …Chernobyl was 1,000 kilometres away … That made an impression,' Smital, now 61, said as he told Reuters about his life-long activism against nuclear power in Germany.
