But for you pro-nukers, consider this - even a LOCA, in which the radiation was
contained within containment, might well have been devastating to your
industry. You all should be royally pissed off at the management of D-B and at
the NRC for allowing this situation to fester.
Was Bhopal "devastating" to the chemical industry? Fatal E. Coli infection, to the Jack-in-the-Box hamburger chain (or any other fast food outlet serving hamburgers)? The Baltimore Tunnel fire, to transportation of organic chemicals through tunnels? The putative carcinogenesis of Carbona, to the sale of home shoe cleaners? The Texas City tank farm explosion, to the sale of gasoline (or to storage in tank farms)?
So now it's not that it's really a dangerous problem, but that the industry guys should be worrying about the future of the industry because of the manner in which Lochbaum et al hype disasters "that could happen but didn't"?
