This will end up bigger than Charnobyl, unless..........
Prediction:- The majority of the operators will die within the next 12 Months, the Japanese Authorities haven't been exactly truthful in reporting the state of affairs.
For the record, 30 Operators would have had problems controlling just one out of control reactor, let alone 4.
The power plants SHOULD NOT have been built on that side of the island, near a very active geological area.
>>>keep it in perpective. At Chernobyl the actual reactor was running at full power during a poorly planned test and exploded. The graphite in the reactor then caught fire . Nothing approaching that is happening in Japan.

>>Incorrect, the reactor load should have been 75% for the test, it was done at 20% and due to a design flaw in the dampening rod tips, they had become highly radioactive, this caused the reactor to pulse, with insufficient coolant flow causing the failure.

>fair enough.But I still think there is no comparison between the two incidents
