And Skybird you have just fallen straight into the scaremongering category.
There has been a partial meltdown in reactor 1, possibly in reactor 3.
The fact that they are still managing to pump in water and that there hasn't been anything worse than the first explosion I think shows how even in extreme circumstances you can manage them so they don't pose further danger.
As for the effects of radioactive fallout there is still debate on going about how much Chernobyl is responsible for these statistical anomalies in the fallout zone, especially those further down the fallout zone.
