6. I'm watching Chernobyl now

Wishing it was more than a 5 part series - there's just so much detail to go into, which they only hit the surface.

Fukishima - very scary. I worry about ingestion of radiated seafood, and exposure to people on the west coast.
I remember everyone stocking up on iodine pills.

Really couldn't find out much info about Chernobyl's core - except that the whole site will be decommissioned in 2065.
I thought the official count of deaths for the three major nuke accidents was an absolute joke though: https://www.livescience.com/13858-chernobyl-nuclear-disaster-25-years.html
