The Ukraine was a key food producer for the Soviet Union, and Chernobyl was in the Kiev region, one of the major agricultural centers much like Belarus, which was just across the border to the north. This was no accident.
The (((CIA))) and their custodians, the Bush family, wanted a major blow dealt to the USSR, but wanted it to look like an internal problem so as to help foment the eventual collapse. It also helped paint nuclear energy as something unmanageable and dangerous, despite the opposite being true.
Correct. Similar situation in Japan. Japan's reactor was known problematic and the powers that be purposely kept it in production and prevented mitigation. The backup systems were below sea level, which is why Fukushima became a disaster. It was documented at the international level for years. Under international regulation it was never approved for construction yet magically it was. It continuously failed inspections for this reason yet was magically approved for continued operation. It's almost as if it was specifically built to give nuclear a bad name.
Nuclear remains the safest, least expensive energy in mainstream use. This includes all nuclear accidents to date.
