It was also well known that the reactor was unsafe. It was a cash grab by a corrupt government, something that would never happen today.
Which is why I hate when Chernobyl is mentioned as an example of poor nuclear safety.
- southerntofu 5y agoIt is well known that most reactors (at least here in France) suffer from bad engineering and are unsafe. Existing ones suffer a lot of downtime due to various levels of accidents, while ones being built are often delayed due to serious issues (see also: EPR scandals in France, Areva scandals elsewhere in the world).
- ahD5zae7 5y agoI agree with the general point of course, but: > It was a cash grab by a corrupt government, something that would never happen today. I'm afraid corrupt governments doing cash grabs are unfortunately still a thing nowadays.
