It’s not really a “they”, more a “he”.

And he realizes that the minute he gives up, hes going to fall out of the fifth floor window in his underground bunker and die a truly heroic death.

The easiest way to take Ukrainian equipment off the field is to have it never get delivered. Spending some money on US and European politicians is MUCH cheaper than spending money on drones and missiles and guns.

Chernobyl in particular was bad due to the Soviet management culture. Others, and the majority, are due to lacking or ignoring safety or maintenance controls.

Chernobyl was both. It was basically custom made to have this failure, and even at the time it was the only reactor where this could happen.

The only others on the list are Windscale, which killed zero, and Fukushima, which one could argue killed 51, but its kind dubious attributing evacuation deaths to the power plant. And kyshtim, which I misremembered, it’s not a power plant.

That’s not true at all. The US’s SL-1 killed three people. Other plants around the world have had various incidents as well, though most of them are not related to criticality in the reactor.

I mean, technically someone falling down the stairs at an NPP and breaking their neck probably counts, but that’s not really what I meant.

Counting SL1 is also kind of dubious, but sure, it was technically going to be a nuclear power reactor.

But yes, agreed. Nobody builds dangerously shoddy gear like Russia, and I’m pretty sure that hasn’t improved much in the recent years.

On the one hand, Russia runs a lot of nuclear reactors, so they have lots of experience. On the other hand, almost all of those were Soviet builds.

On the one hand, nuclear power has an extremely low failure rate, with civilian nuclear reactor failures being extremely rare. On the other hand, the only reactors that have killed people were Soviet reactors…

But… What about her face?

Also, I would honestly cheer if valve made all the companies disclose campaign donations…

Honestly, could we have those too? I would love to have that.

“Europe’s effort in insulating itself from the next economic bubble increasingly succesful, despite best attempts at bribery from bubble inflaters”

I think it’s the reverse. They’ve used lots of AI and are currently suffering all of that.

Being evil together?

It’s it actually toxic if you really do benefit from it?
