Twenty-two years ago today the Soviet Union announced that a serious nuclear accident had occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in the Ukraine near the small town of Pripyat 100 kilometres from the capital Kiev. The explosion in reactor number four, which occurred three days before, is the world's worst reactor meltdown, spewing radioactive material across the then Soviet Union and much of northern Europe.

A GROUP of veterans insist they have been wrongly denied repatriation benefits because the Howard government refused to believe they were involved in a 1952 nuclear test. Now they have photographs they say prove they were there. Former national serviceman Mike Rowe, who served aboard the frigate HMAS Murchison, said he and others had spent the past five years trying to set the record straight about their participation in the nuclear test at Monte Bello Island off the West Australian coast in October 1952.
