    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

      Three 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.
