clough replied , telling the iconoclast , the point is that material from chernobyl which is 1 , 800 miles to the east of great britain traveled to greatest britain and contaminated wales , scotland , and these parts of the united kingdom . and they should as well have reported that it was equally untenable for it to travel that distance in the opposite path to the general flow of the water , but we have examined computer modeling of land directions over the period of the gulf war and its nearly clear the material from iraq must have come through the united nations because of the particular kind of recessions and anticyclone systems that were there .
The Chernobyl disaster had repercussions outside the ex-USSR.
