Chernobyl-1

On Homeline, the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster is remembered as the greatest nuclear accident ever, but it could have been worse. On Chernobyl-1, it was much, much worse. A thermal explosion sent deadly radiation across Eastern Europe, killing Belarus and Ukraine, and irradiating from Berlin to Moscow, Baltics to Black Sea.

I-Cops only discovered this benighted timeline a few years ago, from stolen Centrum information. Every Security Council power demands that their counterpart be saved first, but Infinity has so far held them off, because this nuclear disaster was more massive than even the highest estimates of what could have happened at Homeline’s Chernobyl, covering a much larger area and delivering much deadlier (and faster-acting) radiation. And the panic seems to have be extreme, not just toppling communism but also the Middle East and starting nuclear war. Chernobyl-1 has been compared to Lenin-2, another timeline where communism wrecked the world environment far more than would seem possible.
There’s also evidence that Centrum is active here. While usually Interworld washes its hands of hell worlds, recent advancements in radioactive clean-up on Chernobyl-1 echo Centrum’s - and that world-state knows how to clean up, after the Last War. Indeed, there are those who suspect that Centrum deliberated leaked this timeline to Infinity, either to show Interworld ‘doing good’ or just to warn about high-tech in the wrong hands (it would be just like Interworld to equate Soviet nuclear power to Homeline parachronics…). Or maybe Centrum wants to tests its methods against Chernobyl-1’s ‘super radiation.’ Miracle Workers wants to give hospitals on this irradiated world the cancer cures of parallel Jeanne Orieuxs, but if this world has divergent physical laws…
