11. Come on really?
Chernobyl was a graphite moderated positive void reactor operated in the Soviet Union. Ingring the Soviet Union complete lack of regulation, inspections, or concern for safety positive void reactors are PROHIBITED in the United States (and almost all of the world). They are prohibited for the exact reason that caused Chernobyl.

Learn about the most basic level of science involved in nuclear reactors and get back to me. A least look of void coefficient of reactivity. That might help you understand how Chernobyl was different than every single reactor in the United States.


TMI? TMI was media hype. 30 years of studies have concluded not a SINGLE person has died from the accident at TMI. Also we learned a lot from TMI that improved the safety aspect of nuclear reactors even more.
