    Don’t forget about three mile island. I think much spin on the Chernobyl situation can be attributed to the embarrassment of the self failure

      Threee mile island was only a partial meltdown, and very little fission product was ever released to the environment. Nowhere near as blatant and drastic of a failure as what happened in Chernobyl.

        True, however it was embarrassing to the atomic lobby. It was very similar in his a little lack of oversight caused a huge crisis.

        The scale of the repercussions was very different, yes and that was emphasized to put the three mile incident in a better light.
