Nothing much.

Really, nothing much.

When chernobyl blew, american news painted the fallout as a death cloud that would kill everything where it spread. It traveled right over finland and scandinavia.

A few american finnish people were amazed when they called here and people were actually alive.

The real-world effects are that globally a few more cancer cases will happen. In Japan, a big clean-up operation will commence, after which the ground around the plant will be off-limits except for authorities for an undetermined number of years.

Further effects are that people will panic, nuclear power will be even more shunned, we're never going to get a nuclear-pulse drive or a nuclear-powered VASIMR.

After a while, people will settle down, but the green propagandists will squeeze all they can from this, no matter how non-factual the stories they will tell.
