It became a subject of parody that still surfaces occasionally even to this day. I remember old 'training' videos (film in those days) showing a kid jumping from a bike, lying on the road in a near foetal position, with arms over the head... that'll save you from those commie nukes! |

I completely dont blame the japs or the yanks for this reactor design this was one of the box and we can learn from it. We learnt when we made jet planes with cabin pressurization not to use square windows. |

Not as safe as the car today so the same will apply to Nuke power plants.. |
