I have been watching a documentary on the Chernobyl disaster. Anyone who thinks Nuclear energy is the answer to CO2 emissions should watch it. Nuclear is just too dangerous..."To err is human" as we have all heard...and when that "err" takes thousands of years to correct it should not be on the table for consideration.

The really scary part about watching the documentary is that Chernobyl was one reactor and they know where the core/fuel rods are.. Fukushima lost 3 reactors and the cores are still not accounted for...

From a report in March 2016.

"The fuel rods melted through their containment vessels in the reactors, and no one knows exactly where they are now."
