    Which is why I will forever be against nuclear, we cannot make something incompetence proof. Everything can be controlled for except for the human at the helm.

      I mean, that would sanction being against a… great many ordinary things.

          Fair enough. I assumed you meant more casualties than the environmental effects, which is my bad.

          (though it is inhabitable even now in most places, with radiation levels having dropped dramatically in most of the exclusion zone, just… not recommended. Long-term cancer risks and all that - living there would be like working as a coal miner, which is obviously undesirable to deal with)

            There are regions throughout Europe, all the way into Germany, where you can’t safely eat wild mushrooms, and certain wild animals to this day due to contamination from Chernobyl.
