These two were only more serious because their plants had old technology and the government was too slow, Most people are scared because of nuclear explosions but the most dangerous thing is radiation. But this is only Chernobyl. Fukushima had a quick strategy and it’s nuclear reactors had good protection and were up to date. Practically a
