    Okay but I’d argue the design of Chernobyl was a fucking disaster to begin with. Soviet authorities were so confident a meltdown wouldn’t happen they just build a sheet metal shed around the reactor. If they had put a concrete sarcophaguses around the reactor Chernobyl wouldn’t have been much worse than three mile island.
