  1.  @thesheckels9309  No, it would be smart to contain it, which is why we seal nuclear waste in concrete and bury it away from water sources. This is the plan with Chernobyl, the reactor will be dismantled and sealed into casks and then stored until it can be processed in another reactor as fuel.

  2.  @ansmerek  An amount that was agreed when east and west were always seconds away from blowing each other to bits. The cold war is over and some countries don't share America's doctrine of "war comes before all else".

  3. Fukushima isn't even remotely as bad, the only reason they are both a 7 on the INES scale is because 7 is as high as it goes and both fulfill the criteria of a large radiation release, however if the scale went up to 15 Chernobyl would get there and Fukushima would stay at 7.

  4.  @gck82s  Can you spread any more nonsense? Getting radiation out of a fluid is simple, you put the fluid through a neutron absorbing material, they have to do it to the coolant every time they decommission a NPP. And Fukushima is nowhere remotely as bad as Chernobyl, man, when you prats aren't lying about it flowing into the sea you are complaining that they are capturing and storing it - people can't win.

  5.  @centralintelligenceagency9003  Where did anyone say there have been only two accidents? You are seeing or hearing things, mate.

  6. You've seen ONE other video of people inside the sarcophagus and have we seen either of those two idiots since they made that video in 2016? no, they probably skipped work on the NSC one day to stay at home and turn into a puddle.

  7.  @jackfanning7952  The science would suggest otherwise since most of the world's second generation reactors already use fuel that has been through first generation reactors and considered spent.

  8. Still far cheaper than just about anything else, these days they include the decommissioning cost in the initial price as it is an IAEA regulation. So 20 billion up front and then for the next 40 years you collect monthly electricity bills from four million households (two million per reactor), I just did a quick calculation using my monthly bill of 34 quid and got a total of 70 billion. 50 billion pound profit.

  12. They named the first confinement "Shelter Structure", it was the western media that first called it a sarcophagus and it stuck.

  14. We had to throw away milk for a few months after the accident as cows were munching on fallout and we had to wait for the radiation to go through their system, then we had to test animals everywhere to see if they were safe to eat still. Which they were. We got off pretty lightly compared to the countries directly north-west of the Ukraine like Belarus, Poland and Sweden/Finland, oh and the Baltic states in between.

  15. Nah, first thing they do in an accident is stop the meltdown to safeguard the water table.

  18. Doesn't matter where it 'burst', it was a gun-type bomb and thus very inefficient, if I recall correctly the amount of material that reacted was something like 17% of what it contained meaning the vast majority of the naughty stuff simply got blown to smithers and eens and sprinkled across a large area.

  19. The reason Hiroshima became livable so quick was because bombs and reactors use different isotopes, to make a bomb you need enriched material that has neutrons flooding out of it like a hedgehog's waterbed but to run a reactor you need semi-stable isotopes that bleed neutrons at a slow and steady rate. Isotopes with very short half-lives disappear quickly, isotopes with very long half-lives can stick around for millennia.
