Re: Chernobyl, nearly 20 years later
Toejam,
Did you see the PBS documentary on the Three Mile Island incident in 1979? I remember at the time that it happened but didn't know the severity of the accident due to the lack of real and truthful information being given to the press. There was a true core meltdown of at least five feet but a China Syndrome was averted before it reached the foundation of the plant. Despite all the sophistocated safeguards in place, it was operator error that overrode them. Scary stuff!!
