This is a typical Western oversimplification of communist regimes. If there is a Party, it is to blame, of course.
But you are wrong. The casualties of such incidents are coming not just from the poor immediate responses, but also from long term environmental, social and economic effects. Even if in Fukushima disaster people did not die from acute radiation syndrome, there are still several thousands of deaths attributed to the disaster. Same with Chernobyl, Mayak etc.
- theshrike79 5y agoYes, people died in the panic resulting from the evacuation in Fukushima. But is that the fault of nuclear power? Do you "attribute" deaths caused by other energy production means the same way? Coal kills people every day. People die when installing wind farms, do they count?
- ivan_gammel 5y agoLet me be more clear about my comment above: I was responding to a message claiming that nuclear disaster produced a wildlife reserve. I do not care about statistics and causes of death in this context, because they are simply irrelevant (and of course I know those facts). If someone said that Nazis postponed climate change by reducing population of Europe, would you be equally engaged in discussing the exact numbers?
