Funny that they should make the Chernobyl comparison when there were no nuclear materials involved. It’s also funny that we have two REAL “underwater Chernobyls” in our oceans and fail to draw the right conclusions. The US’s Thresher and the Soviet’s Kursk are both nuclear powered subs sitting on the sea floor causing no problems at all. Nuclear power plants store fuel rods safely in a mere 15 feet of water. Putting nuclear waste under several miles of sea water is safer (and much, much cheaper) than burying them in salt mines, yet no on proposes that solution (except, so far as I know, me).
