No... the RBMK reactors were inherently unsafe and lacked a reactor containment. Other reactors do not share the physical qualities that made the accident possible. Only the Sovet RBMK-reactors (17 built, 1 destoyed, 4 shut down, 12 still in operation) had these dangerous charateristics that allowed power excursions of the kind that caused the explosion. Every other reactor type operates in the opposite: if power jumps up, then the nuclear reaction is inhibited by the laws of phyiscs.

Short answer: no. Long answer: No, because the radiation levels, while elevated above normal, are still low enough that the absobed dose is not any more detrimental to the helath than is a long airplane trip or a chest X-ray. Go to Carl's homepage to read more about it. The link is in the video info to the right.

why are they walkign around their with no radiation suits on? isn't that dangerous?

I would love to go there on a trip for a day or two.. Would be so cool.. Perhaps i will later :)

No it couldnt.All reactors now can be shut down and be sealed off from the outside world.Even if they explode the radiation cant get out.This reactor and facility was dangerous from the start.

charnobyl could to by anywhere where it is nuclear power station even in usa europe etc good luck
