@firstdogonthemoon@aus.social Hmm, it makes me think that the people promoting nuclear power might be wolves in human costumes. :)

@firstdogonthemoon@aus.social I keep thinking the spelling should be "Chornobyl" which is present-day Ukrainian spelling… but "Chernobyl" is how it was spelt at the time the incident occurred (as part of the USSR)… so yeah, hard to know which is correct. Apparently present-day reactor designs are far less prone to the issues that affected the examples mentioned here… but I still would be leery about their use given the long lead time needed to get them up and running. Especially as other methods (*cough* renewables & storage) are actually proving to be very much viable.

@firstdogonthemoon@aus.social Chernobyl and Fukushima are unfortunate accidents... although I don't think people can ever make it work if at any time they place into power deranged leaders that threaten to destroy them as if they were fragile hostages of war
