Jimmy Carter helped lead the cleanup effort after the world’s first nuclear reactor meltdown

Former President Jimmy Carter, 98, has entered hospice care at his home in Plains, Georgia, after a series of short hospital stays, the Carter Center announced in a Feb. 18 statement. The organization said the 39th president “decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.”A few days before the announcement, a meme shared on Twitter claimed Carter led a team of men after the world’s first nuclear reactor meltdown while he was serving in the U.S. Navy at age 28. The meme also claimed Carter and his team were exposed to a lot of radiation during this time.
