That first one might be of no use in a dataset for the US, UK etc. to make such decisions. It is a ridiculous outlier. 20-200k people die and there is a cover up.
- jojobas 3y agoWhether the government tries to cover up or not is of little consequence, the people are already dead. Multiple 100+ fatality dam accidents happened in the US and other Western countries about the same time, lower fatalities owing to lower population density rather than some different level of diligence.
- quickthrower2 3y agoThe cover up talks to the culture, which talks to the risk given the era and country involved. Dams are more dangerous than reactors in general, but really we should be looking at the risk of specific projects given all those factors.
