In the time before the internet and the ability to search for truth, the British Govt conveniently used the Chernobyl disaster for their own benefit.
An area of Snowdonia ( a mountain range in Wales with a peak of around 3300ft) was analysed and it was discovered that it was contaminated with nuclear fallout.
They quickly blamed those pesky Russians and for years the farmers were prevented from farming Welsh Lamb and Black Beef.
The cloud had apparently decided to drift across Europe ( over the alps15000ft high) and deposit its debris in an area of around 50 sq miles.
The more likely scenario was that it was a radiation leak from one of the 2 U.K. nuclear power stations located less than 25 miles from the site at Wylfa( Wiltha) and Trawsfynydd( trous-fu-niv).
