havent seen HBO show as i am german

Not really

no HBO avialability here

When shit goes down at a nuclear plant it goes down hard

Didn't only like, what, a handful of people die?

No

As in directly during the accident

Every firefighter that went there died

still less than every year by the effectsof coal

Not the Radiation Poisoning and such

be it miners

or ones in poweplants

coal is statistically way more dangerous

in many ways

Only a handful died as a result of the explostion

But the radiation killed and displaced thousands

I feel real bad for those firefighters

and now look at how many nuclear disasters were stopped by competent workers

The state was consistently acting against the team trying to fix the disaster

A chernobyl type disaster would not happen here because we have safety regs

alot of people in tschernobyl died because the commies said "its not that bad" "we just cant let moscow find out"

It really did take Dr. Legasovs suicide to force a change

Rather, the scale would not be as devastating

and just send people in unprotected

didnt tell the people to evacuate

Chenpbyl would be impossible in American Type 4 reactors

"Lol, the air is just a bit spicy, Comrade. Get in there and help or off to Gulag"
-USSR

No one uses type 2 RBMK reactors anymore

it would be impossible in any other reactor even at that time

it was fucking commie tech

what do you expect they prob had a button to blow it up

Yeah graphite tipped control rods is a bad idea

PEople were a ressource to commies

Lol, Oops, I accidentally pressed the 'we're fucked' button, my bad guys

look at russian WW2 tanks

The soviets were seriously lax in their construction of reactors

notoriously horrible for the crews

Yeah

they just send people in in masses to win

But you could manufacture them in a tractor factory if necessary

the only thing worse than a soviet reactor is a chinese reactor
