Couple of things, people have been killed by reactors exploding in the US and some of them were so hot, their hands had to be buried with other waste. The coffins for the men were made of lead.

There have been lots of accidents in the US, just none on the scale of Chernoble (sp).

I was working near a Government Reactor (within 30 ft of the containment chamber) They had a gigercounter (sp) on the floor. I don't know what scale it was on but it was only clicking once every 3 or 4 seconds. I commented to the person there that the shielding must be superb. He laughed and picked up the gigercounter and pointed it at the reactor and it started buzzing. Food for thought.
Power Wagon Content, I do not plan on putting a reactor in Bear anytime soon.
Best Wishes
