The Aftermath: 25 years after Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Accident April 26, 1986. My Ad Campaign will focus on increasing public awareness of the on-going fall-out from the incident (the medical, emotional, and familial toll especially to the children). Hopefully, this information emphasizing the faces and the 'facts' with use of numbers impacted eg families relocated, the number of children suffering from various ailments eg thyroid cancer will give us pause to the many unknowns and dangers with use of nuclear power.
Target market: adult population at least voting age; so college students would be included. The students would not have been born at the time of the accident so knowing the on-going impact from this one accident may encourage them to pursue more information about the subject. I hope that linking facts and faces still impacted may give adults pause to also look deeper into the subject via links to be shared.
For my research: I used Palos Verdes Library District on-line resources where I was able to download a number of articles some the full PDF file (there was no hyperlink so I will list the source). I have more info on my computer hard drive.

Chernobyl Hope
abstract this article discusses children affected by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in the Ukraine. The radioactive fallout from this accident is believed to be the source of birth defects in a number of children in Belarus, many of whom are confined to a state-run hospital with little to no care. A group of American volunteers visited these hospitals to teach some of the staff therapeutic techniques and to spend time interacting with the children.
