put all that wast in a cave was not to hide it, rather the ground around it would absorb any radiation coming from it.

...procedure, removed extra neutron controllers (things that keep the reactor from going into a run-a-way reaction), and even draining some of the water from the core. exactly what happened next is not clear but somehow the core came in direct contact with the coolant causing to almost instantly boil, the rise in pressure ruptured all the pipes carrying the coolant and caused a steam explosion that sprayed parts of the core into the air where it dispersed and spread out over the near by area. what was left of the core was now no longer being actively cooled and quickly rose in temperature until it meted itself (this is whats called a meltdown). the molten core melted its way through and mixed with several layers of concrete until it got diluted and spread out enough that it backed away from criticality. the result is what we now call "the elephants foot". the point being that these things only happen when you get sloppy and cut corners. finally id like to say the reason your country...

...then punishments would be handed down. nuclear reactors need external power to work and will likely insinuate the SCRAM procedure if they loos it. as part of this the reactors would be shut down and backup generators would start to keep the lights on and computers running in the reactor control room. the problem was that there was a good 10 or 20 or so seconds while the generators start that their was no power. at the time they where experimenting with using the residual rotational energy left in the turbines to power the whole plant. this involved throttling the reactor core in shush a way that it accidentally caused something called xenon poisoning (xenon is actually completely nontoxic but its bad for reactors). xenon poisoning causes the reactor to run at very low speeds for a long time (sometimes days). the people in charge of the reactor wanted to avoid this badly to avoid the wrath of the KGB. they cut of corners and did things like disable the the automatic SCRAM...

first id like to point out that the vast majority of nuclear wast is not actually spent nuclear fuel, instead its mostly stuff that spent time around the fuel. think radiation suites or giant graphite blocks used as nuclear moderators. while some of this stuff is indeed dangerous most of it is just not needed or unusable anymore. furthermore some of the "wast" is actually quite valuable like the plutonium made by some reactors. Their is a device called a RTG (radio thermal-electric generators), they generate electric power over a VARY long time (depending on how much power you need they can last about 30 years). NASA uses them on spacecraft like voyager or rovers like curiosity. each RTG takes 96g of plutonium.
As for Chernobyl, not to sound insensitive, they where frankly asking for it. at the time the cold war was going on and the KGB would pressure the operators of reactors to make plutonium for a different reason, to build bombs. each reactor had a quota and if it was not met...

Nuclear energy is a tool, a very powerful tool, and you can use it in different ways. In the case of Fukushima and Nagasaki it was being used as a weapon, in nuclear reactors its being used to make electricity. Its not what it is or what it can do that makes something particularly good or bad, its how you use it.
P.S. "send you to Fukushima 1 hour before the accident" what happened at Fukushima was no accident.

i understand that its completely natural and involuntary but that doesn't make it not gross

That 90 secon stitistic would change drastically with 1 the amount of fuel remaining, 2 the the kind of plain, 3 the kind of crash.

I still think its gross. Just because something is natural does not make it not gross. I take a crap every day and thats gross.

i agree in cases of incest, danger to the mother or child, and in cases with a rape conviction, early abortion should be legal. however all combined they make up less than %4 of abortions.

in addition the 70-year-old man was elected there democratically by the voting population. women make up %53 of that voting population.
