Reply #73: Chernobyl [View All]

[DrGregory]

Chernobyl is the "Hindenburg" of the
nuclear industry.

An outdated primitive design combined
with operator error to produce a disaster.

However, does anyone fear flying in a
modern Boeing 777 because of what happened
to the Hindenburg?

The failures of the Hindenburg have nothing
to do with the safety of a modern airliner
like a Boeing 777.

The failures of the primitive Chernobyl RBMK
reactor have nothing to do with the safety
of a modern nuclear power plant.
