GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -In the very unlikely scenario that all four reactors exploded simultaneously, it would resort to chaos. Not only in terms of the fallout but ecologically and politically – and radioactive would have completely reshaped life over central and Eastern Europe virtually overnight.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately trained personnel. The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the environment, with the deposition of radioactive materials in many parts of Europe.

Detailed explanation-3: -Immediately after the Fukushima accident in 2011, radiation levels increased in food, water, and the ocean near the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Because of the threat of radiation exposure, some 150, 000 people were forced to evacuate their homes. There were subsequently also multiple leaks at the facility.

Detailed explanation-4: -The steam pressures and/or the explosion of the hydrogen can rupture the reactor vessel and allow radioactive vapors to escape. The radioactive vapors settle to the Earth and result in radiation poisoning.
