   It was like I have seen the Chernobyl mini-series and everything was just blanketed in ash, it was quite an overwhelming feeling, you know ? There was a helicopter on the island that had obviously been there at the time, with its rotor blades off it.

2. David Fletcher:

   The real concern is not a catastrophic explosion as happened at Chernobyl but damage to the cooling system which is required even when the reactor is shut down, it was this type of damage that led to the Fukushima accident.

3. John Kotek:

   At Chernobyl… the last reactor was shut down in the year 2000. So the spent fuel that's on site there has had 20 plus years to cool, i can point to a statement from the IAEA related to this just earlier today. They said that heat load of spent fuel storage pool and the volume of cooling water at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is sufficient for effective heat removal without the need for electrical supply.

   What we see [ in Chernobyl ] is a vivid example of outrage at a nuclear facility.

This history must never repeat itself.
