perfidy

Here is a PhotoJournal of Chernobyl. It's rather striking, and the timing of finding it is odd -- I heard an interview on NPR a few days ago with an author who had written a history of Three Mile Island. He described the state of the containment core when the reactor was finally cracked apart, and how the investigators were shocked to discover that the interior had melted. That meant that the reactor was dramatically more dangerous than most had thought, and was close to being a disaster.

Nuclear is dangerous business. It can be managed, but the consequences of screwing it up are pretty terrifying.
