RBMK could have been 'worse' as you pointed out, however such reactor will never be built, certaintly not in the 'west'.
In a hypothetical nuclear accident of Gen3+ design, the damage is not to the environment but the public image of the nuclear industry. The only way to have another Chernobyl is perhaps to have Mag. 7+ (at 1000 gal) earthquake and a core breach and maybe... have the containment building blown with a bunker buster. For all to happen at once seems impossible.

How is "self made billionaire" who does live in the US talk about issues that have no link to him? Or someone who doesnt even pay taxes? OR someone who has a companies website that looks like a blind 5 year old made? I think i am going to need a shovel for all the shit you feed me. Harvard grad my ass. First you disagree with me that power plant doesnt produce gigawatts then you agree with me after? Your a moron that tries to understand something that he doesn't.

You really would give out your Vice President's phone number? I doubt you know the proper area code or his secretary's first name.

So Vega is a Director of Engineering at Entegy and does "Hans Blix" inspections in Japan in his spare time. Ha Ha Ha. Liar.

One more question. How is it that you are a Director of Engineering and can get away with such atrocious spelling and English grammar? You consistently mix up "than" (like "easier said than done") and "then" (like "first came the clowns then the elephants"). Every engineering manager that I've ever worked with has demanded much more precision than that. A lack of precision can cause confusion that can eventually lead to an accident.
"ill be more then happy" --> "I'll be more than happy"

And then I take it that you did not inspect a reprocessing plant in Japan, but merely visited.
You are 26 according to your profile and you are a Director of Engineering? You claim to have worked at TMI in the 80's. Right. Fix your profile. You have to be in your 50's.
"EVERY piece but 2 percent" OK ... thank you for conceding my point which was that not all Uranium was recovered.
I have a Masters Degree in Engineering. I certainly know how to look for credible and reliable sources.

I'm not a UN inspeactor, in fact the UN doesnt inspect power plants the NRC does I work for entergy as director of engineering. I worked at TMI after it was safe to go there. EVERY piece but 2 percent of uranium was account for. If you want to speak to Ted Sulivan who worked TMI ill be more then happy to give you his number just to prove my point. You need to educate yourself in engineering and know what the hell you are talking about instead of looking at google for all your answers.

They were very lucky that there was no fire or explosion. There was no radioactivity spread around. The nearby town was nearly unaffected.
However, you fail to mention that two workers of the three workers that were mixing uranium in a vat died slow death due radiation exposure. One died 12 weeks later, another 7 months later.

If you are now talking about TMI...WRONG
The fuel that did not melt was removed from the reactor. But about 1% remains.
August 1993: Dr. Michio Kaku, professor of Theoretical Nuclear Physics at CUNY, evaluated studies conducted or commissioned by the NRC on the amount of fuel left in TMI-2.
Kaku concluded: "The still unanswered questions are therefore: precisely how much uranium is left in the core, and how much uranium can collect in the bottom of the reactor to initiate re-criticality."

Please learn the difference between "then" (A then B) and "than" (A is less than B).
You don't get my point.

We have had our own nuclear power problems. in the early days of nuclear power there was a testing site in the los angeles hills where they were experimenting with sodium cooled reactors. it was a complete failure and the rods became damaged due to corrosion. the site was not a power staition and therefore had no containment facilities so the radioactive particles were released into the atmosphere.

Hi. Yes, I'm aware there have been numerous problems with nuclear reactors run by the US government. I believe people have even been killed. The US government appears much better at regulating the civilian nuclear power industry than regulating their own nuclear reactors.
