@du3ce Cause if scientists who work there while they are drunk they can fuck a lot of shit up :P

@midwesternerforlife there's a wikipedia entry about the chernobyl disaster. the attempted cover-up obviously failed but the reason why the explosions happened in the first place were mainly based in design errors. No containment, insufficient control of activity of separate parts of the core, strong positive void coëfficient. There are still some active reactors in Russia that were built with these same design errors. They have been modified extensively after 1986, but still not among the safe

quit chain smoking and you might lessen your chance of heart attack, comerades.

Compared to the film crew, these liquidators were hardly wearing any adequate protection.

@TheBoomViper Respirators wouldn't protect you from the fatal radiation.

@midwesternerforlife More accurately - the Soviets were concerned about the NATURE of the reactor getting into public eyes. The reactor was designed to spend nuclear fuel at a high rate - in short, it was a weapon. If you spend Uranium 233, and it becomes Uranium-235 (It might be the other way arround, but I think the nucleus gains weight during Fusion from the additional neutrons.) Then it becomes weapons-grade. What more convenient source for Fissile nuclear material, than from power?

Agreed. But my point was that Russia didn't even provide proper protection with respirators for the liquidators. All they got in the end of that suicidal mission, was a piece paper and 100 dollars which is pretty much a pat on the back.
Not to mention that those liquidators who are still alive today no longer have access to welfare.
It's disgraceful! And I feel really bad when I think about these brave soldiers.

Sadly no country has ever valued the lives of its people enough.
the reason isn't communism. The reason is because the soviets wanted to cover up the incident and were too proud to ask anybody for help.
