[edit] Summary

Fair use, this is an iconic picture of a lava flow from within the Chernobyl plant.

Downloaded from http://www.spaceman.ca/gallery/chernobyl/f421

1. No free alternative exists, without placing a person in grave danger it will be impossible to rephotograph the lava flow. It might be possible given a very large (unreasonable) budget to build a robot which could enter the plant and recreate the photo.

2. The use of the picture here is unlikely to damage the copyright holder's ability to make any money out of the picture.

3. A small amount of the media is being used.

4. The photo has been shown on TV in the UK (back in about 1991)

5. The material is encyclopedic

6. The material will be used on more than one page

7. The material is not decorative

8. The material is to be only used in an article

9. The picture of the lava flow explains what happens to nuclear fuel under very bad accident conditions. Rather than using the 'Elephant's Foot' I have chosen to use the picture of the lava coming out of a pipe as it shows that that it did slow. The understanding of the lava is critical to understanding the likely release of much of the activity still within the plant which will occur potentially in the future.
