What do you think about the Chernobyl nuclear accident of 1986?

hoax by the democrats

Pretty false tbh

It was a reactor designed to work at an inch away from meltdown, that had a 'killswitch' that when pressed, under certain conditions would first drive UP the reactor to maximum before cooling down. Combined with a test being run with all safety limits turned off.

The plant was designed to allow that, because it means it could be converted to a nuclear weapons factory if ever ww3 broke out.

Oh, and due to budget cuts, the plant was never fitted with a concrete bunker, just a thin concrete housing.

Plants designed like that are no longer operational in the world. The lesson was learned.

Very stupid human error, that ruined nuclear power.

It's fookin fooked mate, big toim

It did, at least appearance wise. While also simultaneously making it safer than ever since we know how dangerous it can be if not handled safely and we've put more preventative measures in place. Funny, isn't it?

Nuclear is the way to go. We just need to make absolutely sure enough fail safes are in order. And if an accident does occur, it should be easy to contain it. A properly contained building of an accident is worth the risk.

that 99% of the people who talk about it don't know what they're talking about and gives excuses for oil companies and "renewables" to continue a dominance in a market that should be dominated by the best energy source we have available, nuclear

What's not to understand? One idiot drained the tanks while another engaged the fuel rods. Well, now we know not to do that.

we still dont really know what to do with the radioactive waste tho, the next headache is that cave in east germans thats full of leaking radioactive waste barrels that the commies just threw down there Simpsons style.

Not him, but if we had the last forty years to work with plants and the "waste" they produce, we could have come up with something by now. There is still plenty of energy in spent rods. You want people to want electric cars? How about ones that can run for a 100K miles on one internal reactor? Seems possible, with the right effort.

the exaggerated danger of radioactivity, the idea that nuclear power plants can explode as if it were a nuclear bomb

Yo they made that HBO show into a real thing?

Tragic and interesting. What else is there about it?

yes we do know what to do with nuclear waste, if people somehow die from it 2k years later because the surrounding area somehow became forgotten it's not our problem, aside from that breeder reactors produce less waste

if Trump had been president it would not have happened

I work at a nuclear plant in the US. Fellow manager has helped build the sarcophagus at Chernobyl for 7 months. He’s said it was the hottest area he's ever worked in. The basement where they started the foundation was so hot down there they had a maximum time of 10 mins before over exposure so they had to constantly rotate workers. Some parts of the basement were not even safe to bring electrical equipment in let alone people near due to intense ionizing radiation. Crazy shit.

What else did he say

This is Chernobyl under Russian Federation control, 2022

Not as bad as Fukushima which is MUCH MUCH worse and Fukushima throws the water into the ocean. People live all around Chernobyl so its not that bad, NOBODY lives round Fukushima and yoo cannot even visit without gov supervision.
But since it happened under Communism, the West keeps on talking about it same as how they endlessly mention Holodomor.
2nd thread today too, so it's obviously glowies.
