I was in college in '86. Preparing to graduate and realizing after I was almost killed in a car crash, my fiancée was killed in a different crash by a drunk driver that $hit can get real at any time. Realizing this while 20 miles from my house was Rancho Seco NPP. Glad it closed.

The reaction of the Russian government to the Chernobyl incident reminds me ALOT of the sinking of the Kursk on August 12th, 2000. Always concerned with their country's image, never wanting to admit that they need help, never wanting to look weak, and facilitating the deaths of their OWN countrymen in an attempt to save face. I have absolutely nothing against the Russians (because most of you have been unwittingly brainwashed by your leaders), but your government is insane to refuse international assistance! Needing and accepting help doesn't make you weak. If your country has had an accident and another country offers you their assistance to either help clean up a nuclear accident, or to help rescue your countrymen in an unknown accident, then accept it and recover your men! Nobody will look down on you for needing help, it's when you attempt to cover things up and refusing help that tends to make others look down on you. This also reminds me of when Genndiy Ossopovitch was ordered to shoot down Korean Airlines Flight 007 over the Kamchatka Peninsula because the USSR believed that it was a US spy plane. The Russians covered it up, denied responsibility, but when Boris Yeltsin took office he offered the recovered cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder from KAL007 to the Americans. It's just sad that the Russian government is so proud that it won't ever accept international aid under ANY circumstances.

16:25 Associating Stalinistic methods and tendencies do Gorbachev's USSR is a mistake. The Chernobyl disaster happened in 1986, not 1952. So, a lot of what this gentleman is saying is pure, absolute and complete nonsense. For instance, many of the efforts to slowdown the spread of radiation at the destroyed reactor were done, purely and simply, out of empathy, not out of any Patriotic War era heroism. 1945 to 1986 is a massive jump to be making such fundamental comparisons on the workings of the Soviet people and the Soviet administration alike.

I don't think so. The Soviet Union had a culture of secrecy and cover ups. There ware problems with every one of those reactors @ chernobyl. But they ware just covered up, and so the scientists working on that particular reactor thought that everything was just all honkey dorey, and even if there was an problem you can just hit the AZ-5 button and the rods get re-inserted bringing everything under control.
