I don’t know if you quite realize how close to a major climate change event Chernobyl almost became.




You might want to elaborate?

That's not supported by physics. Even at the worst - if the other reactor had somehow also melted down, that still wouldn't have caused a major climate change event. It would have been absolutely terrible, regionally, but not globally. Nuclear reactors aren't atomic bombs.
