As long as people are comparing it to Chernobyl, we can't have a sane, realistic conversation about nuclear power.

- r00fus 16y agoWhich is the whole point of the meme... destroy nuclear's credibility with FUD comparisons. Both anti-nuke environmentalist groups and fossil fuel mega-corps can get cozy with this campaign.
- bioh42_2 16y agoThe way to combat that campaign is not by defending an ancient reactor built on the cheap. It's not by defending the overly secrete save face first, save lives second approach by the authorities. Fukushima should not be played down. That is not the way to counter-act the FUD.
- michaelchisari 16y agoLike I said before, we cannot have a sane, rational conversation about how terrible of a design the Mark I BWR is, or how necessary it is to decommission outdated reactors, until people know enough to stop making comparisons to Chernobyl.
