    Chernobyl version 2 anyone ???


    I feel good, all the "Experts" say it is doubtful that we will have a leak
    Experts were in control of Chenobyl, Three Mile Island, Windscale (Sellafield).

    "Experts" say lot of things, let's just wait with our fingers crossed that whoevers in charge of the Russians at that location has more sense than a goldfish eh?

    Actually at Chernobyl experts were not in charge. Politicians were in charge.

    Who is in charge everywhere? Not the scientists or the doctors or engineers. The politicians are in charge. So that applies to everything. And they appoint their own "experts" to say what they want them to say.

    Talk about an oversimplification.

    The problems at Chernobyl occurred because there was a technical issue which could have been resolved by the technical people on site but politicians stepped in and prevented the solution and once the disaster happened politics vis a vis the soviet system multiplied the disaster.

    Chernobyl was in a class by itself as far as disasters go.
