So, what else is there?

The important question; which is, is it significant?


No, it isn't...


I know that. You know that. Harry appears not to.

Assuming the calculations are correct, the local consequences might have
been. And it is quite unsettling if it was a facility incident which has
not been reported. One of the very impressive things about Gorbachev was
the complete openness once the news of Chernobyl reached Moscow.

A release of airborne radioactivity is really something that you can't
cover up. In the west, the reporting and handling of the media since
Three Mile Island has been very good, even if the Japanese made a pigs
ear of it after Fukushima.
