I appreciate the time you take to actually defend your stance and share your thoughts rather than indulging in the upvote mining circlejerk this forum has become. You're still one of my favorite members for a reason. As you said, I didn't exist during the time of the incident, and I'm not much of a historian either and so I could only rely on he-said-she-said to make sense of how the tragedy affected the area and the people. What we do know for sure is that the 4 nuclear plants that are currently operating in Ukraine all have VVER reactors, which, as I mentioned earlier, are built to shut down immediately after loss of coolant. They're also crazily contained to avoid any offsite leaking (which was a condition to ex-soviets for possible EU admissions) and, unlike an RBMK, it doesn't have any graphite (which was responsible for a great deal of radiation toxicity in Prepyet). My point is that, afaik, Ukrainian nuclear plants are nowhere in danger. There's not one scenario where a VVER reactor could go wrong, unless you drop a nuclear bomb on top of it, in which case a meltdown will be the least of your problems lol. Even if the Russian RBMKs were really shady, despite having been modified to add containment structures and switch to a negative void coefficient, that wouldn't really matter. Putin has no interest hijacking his own plants.

no they're not but do contribue why you think they are instead of just putting it out there like solid fact

The modifications were supervised by the IAEA, so I highly doubt there was any serious fraud going on. And while I'm not trying to underplay the Chernobyl incident and the human loss it left behind, but you have to take it in context of the cold war and the nuclear energy stigma that took place back then (and still does to this day). Every information we got about it, especially from the west, was greatly exaggerated for obvious reasons, while others were just buried, like the fact that the other 3 reactors remained operating till 2000, and that there was a FIFTH reactor under construction.

Not anymore. Nuclear power plants, even the ones that support RBMK reactors, have been all renewed in a manner that the core would automatically shut itself down and/or run coolant into itself to avoid a meltdown during steam explosions/power shutdowns etc. There's really no risk at all surrounding modern nuclear plants. Ukraine has been playing that card for a while now to drag in the west, it got to a point where a minister spewed some wild shit about a plant exploding on twitter, and got called out for being a dumb ass.

no shit

as if he lives in a 90m^2 apartment in a residential complex

there's no 'nuclear power plant risk' whatsoever, those claims are just shameless bait to lead the west into war with russia

everyone wants an uv 2.0 until they get one and realize recycled sounds and concepts that don't match the artist's current headspace are lazy and inauthentic as fuck

is she selling nfts too

sorry for bumping this old and irrelevant thread but i just had to come back to it because till this day i've yet to see an attempt at comedy on this forum that is so fucking dumb and ignorant, it's really not cute to be that stupid girls, it's not worth it

i thought that was a porn website for a sec

i always thought she was a pretentious airhead

the twinks reported it for copyright infringement

Yeah, it's less about it not being much of a basic need than it is about Russia being economically and culturally integrated

it’s such an easy word too

I’m currently halfway through Normal People and the hype is kind of not worth it. I do love Marianne though, she’s one of the very few YA protagonists that I genuinely connected with. The guy can choke, I can’t even remember his name.
