    NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    The "Chernoble-style" of fission reactors (Graphite Pile) is one of the most dangerous designs ever!!!
    These things are incredibly nasty, difficult to control, and just out and out dangerous!
    The first and last one built by Enrico Fermi under the stands at Stagg Field, University of Chicago, was recognized as being so inherently unstable and potentially nasty (one wrong move, one lax operator making one stupid mistake, and Chicago would have been "gone" with Lake Michigan a radioactive dead cesspool!!! And I am not kidding!)
    Why the Sovietskii Soyuz ever adopted this technology I will never understand! (Cheap, easy to build, or they just didn't have the technology and engineering smarts to build safer (Candu, Boiling Water, Pressure Vessel designs etc...))
    This isn't even funny, for those of us who understand these things, this is a very sick joke!

    I read the reports of the poor souls who were tasked with putting out the fire at Chernobyl and believe me, there was nothing humourous about what happened there in Ukraine...
