And Chernobyl was a _completely_ different reactor design than any in
the US (or elsewhere, for that matter) without any containment.

That Chernobyl was a disaster is true but it has no relevance to
light-water reactors.

the US nearly had its chernobyl, 3 mile island. some roids melted, it

plus a meltdown like situation can occur at any time, with the spent
fuel rods in unhardened buildings, a easy terrorist target. and
reactors with waste storage tend to be near population centers and
rivers for cooling water.
