oh dude you start a damn serious discussion. The Chernobyl disaster was terrible. a real exposure to how annihilation was created by man himself... Oppenheimer was right, may be Newton know the results, that's why he was considered against such projects...... When I first read about the chemistry behind Chernobyl, I was shocked. A little flaw in design make it the worst disaster in nuclear history...... Thank God they managed to prevent the third explosion....well ! The first time I read a comparison about the intensity difference between "little boy ,fat man" and Chernobyl. I know a little about it, but "the reason behind it" you penned was the first time read.
