    It was incompetence I was referring to... Chernobyl was an insane explosion after I really looked into it. It blew a 200 ton concrete cap right off the #4 reactor and through the roof apparently. I know its a tragic event, but I can't help to think there were alot of facepalm moments after reviewing all that went wrong. I think we have learned much from the incident though. Now back to the topic.
