Cherynobl was an example of 18th century technologists playing with stuff they had no comprehension about. A Nuclear Plant built in the US or the rest of the free world would not burn like the Russian Plant. They had a dumb design and no containment building. The highly toxic waste are only toxic if you get next to them The level and amount of Radiation from Cherynobl was a result of the dumb design. infoukes.com "The RBMK 1000 reactor in Chornobyl is an old graphite design which lacks a containment structure. (The design was favored by the Kremlin because it could also produce nuclear military weapons.) infoukes.com These containment buildings exist on most reactors outside the former USSR and would probably have prevented the escape of most of the radioactivity at Chernobyl." tom watson tosiwmee
