Thanks, this is interesting.
But I still think that nuclear power as mankind uses it is inherent unsafe, and no one knows how to deal with the remnants. B.t.w. Chernobyl is said by experts to have killed between 43 and 14000 People, indirectly of course and hard to prove.
“The risk projections suggest that by now Chernobyl may have caused about 1,000 cases of thyroid cancer and 4,000 cases of other cancers in Europe, representing about 0.01% of all incident cancers since the accident,” it reads. “Models predict that by 2065 about 16,000 (95% UI 3,400–72,000) cases of thyroid cancer and 25,000 (95% UI 11,000–59,000) cases of other cancers may be expected due to radiation from the accident.”
Meaning if one country plays with radio nuclides, the whole world will have to face the consequences of incompetence.

Not entirely off topic, what happened in Archangelsk two days ago? Radioactive spike?

Seems Rosatom is involved. I really had to laugh when i heard that the european branch of "Rosatom" is called "NUKEM". How fitting.
