Instead of us being frightened away from the benefits of nuclear because of the detriment demonstrated by the disaster, we should view Chernobyl as a necessary mistake meant to permanently lock in standards for even the most careless of governments. Even Fukushima comes to mind, even though a larger-than-expected natural disaster was the cause. After parsing the Wiki: "... the switching stations that sent power from these backup generators to the reactors' cooling systems for Units 1 through 5 were still in the poorly protected turbine buildings..." Sounds like there was still human engineering negligence. Perhaps that can teach us to restrict new reactors inland. As some have pointed out in this thread, oil sand waste dumps could ultimately be more harmful than nuclear waste...
