Chernobyl was a total screw-up by some people that should have known better - playing games during testing is something just not done - but fortunately all of the plants that were built in that design were all in Eastern Europe - a really pitiful design - and that type of thing cannot happen no matter how hard we try (ie 3mile island) at the US plants - just wish someone in the media would have really covered what really happened at TMI truthfully so that we could get over this stupidity that exists over fear of nuclear power
