No one will be able to live in Chernobyl for another 20 thousand years... the author persecutes the director of the show for up playing the severity of the disaster while simultaneous down playing it, fact. The author makes it seem like the disaster at Chernobyl was nothing more than a slight hic-up or a little boo-boo... let me reiterate, no one can live in Chernobyl for another 20 THOUSAND years. There are a LOT of reasons for why (current) nuclear energy productions methods are dangerous, fallout from a total meltdown is 1% of them. It certainly isn't the primary concern. The primary concern is what we do with the by product of a nuclear power plant, the spent fuel. What do we do with it? Shove it into some hole in the ground and write a note to the next 200 generations: "Oh, hey, sorry about poisoning your drinking water with our radioactive waste. We figured you could fix our problems for us if you dont mind!" There is nothing clean about nuclear power plants. Just because we aren't pumping CO2 into the air doesn't make it clean.
