A Reminder of What I Do for a Living

I commented last week at Silflay Hraka that, "Fortunately or unfortunately, as it may be, fifty plus years of nuclear reactor usage have demonstrated that it takes a human to toast a nuclear reactor core." This morning I ran across a site that shows pictures of Pripyat and the area surrounding the Chernobyl reactors. It's a site that we ought to add to the training we receive at U.S. commercial nuclear plants as a sobering reminder of what happens when we think something "couldn't possibly happen here."
