Debating allegory gets us nowhere.
Angels dancing with pinhead, or on the head of one of his many pins is a pointless allegory.
Infinity is a very simple and yet astounding term that is precisely defined, and then forgotten by the very people most likely to invoke it. I think it is infinitely important to rub it in the face of such grand poobahs. Or anyone else I feel like talking shit to.
>A community of reactors which have the ability to sterilize the most populous cities of Brazil - Sao Paulo and Rio were a 3 Mile Island or Chernobyl level disaster to take place?
There are 3 biggies. You got 2. The third is Fuckushima.
Chernobl occured because a bankrupt, communist "Empire" ran the "shoulda been decommissioned decades ago" antique nuclear reactor at greater than 100% for far too long because they had no plan B.
Fuckushimaf occured because of Japan's slavish devotion to Keiretsu and a as yet unexplained rule change that forced nuclear power generators in Japan to store highly radioactive waste on site, far longer than is safe.
Three mile island occured but was contained.d The primary source of the incident was a design flaw for the primary instrument panel in the plants control room.
During the plant's construction and run time, analogue gauges were used to monitor just about everything, as they had been around a long time and far exceeded the sensitivity and accuracy of any other monitoring devices. The problem with the design was that, while all of the 40+ guages were operational, and the staff had plenty of knowledge and skill in reading them independantly, each and every gauge needle pointed a different direction during normal operation. When the shit hit the fan, it took the engineers quite some time to read each gauge, check whether or not that was a safe reading or not. After the incident, all such critical gauges were reinstalled such that the orientation of the gauges' readings scale were offset, so that all gauge needles pointed at `12:00 duiring normal operation.
>Chernobyl was said to have happened because two experiments were run at the same time without cross experiment communication.
By experiment you mean two completely ad-hoc jimmy riggs. Kinda like:
Team 1:
Eng1-1: Hey Dimitri, what if we connect the starting motor of that old Lada out back to this broken generator, so we can start using the equipment in building 3 again.
Eng 1-2: Good idea comrade, so long as no one decides to fix the old cooling pump in shed 7 at the same time.
Team 2:
Eng 2-1: So if wee reroute some of the coolant through the old pump in shed 7, we might be able to get the plant to run at 115% instead 110%.
Yeah, always be wary when nuclear power plant basic maintenace becomes a long series of ["experiments".
>more likely it happened because the USSR is populated by and its infrastructure supported by oppressed drunks.
I'll drink to that

Anon, sun's coming up. Put the bottle down. Next pull up a map of Chernobyl Ukraine and ask your favorite search engine how far away Kazakstan is.I wouldn't say they are on opposite sides of the world, but they are on opposite sides of the world.
I refuse to belive everything is a conspiracy, especially when simple carelessness or stupidity suffice. Okham's razer.
