It's human nature to be more confident about the future, but also we have much more confidence in PWR and BWR designs, and these have been safely operated for many years now, the exception being TMI. This incident did shake confidence but the intervening years have enabled designs to be improved.
No, nothing happened like melting of people in Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident.
it leaked but now they fixed it all up so people could visit it again
Because of the disaster at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, not many people live there. Chernobyl, Ukraine has a population of 500.
workers and people :)
The population of Chernobyl - city - is 500.

What happened in Chernobyl was an accident, and therefore cannot be qualified as genocide since there was no intent to systemically destroy (or kill, eradicate, et cetera) the people in Chernobyl.
Chernobyl
The Chernobyl disaster occurred on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. A reactor exploded during a safety test, releasing a significant amount of radioactive material into the atmosphere. The explosion caused widespread contamination and led to the evacuation and resettlement of thousands of people.
The area where the city of Chernobyl is, is highly radioactive after the nuclear disaster at the nearby power plant in 1986. A few people still live in the city, but the power plant is abandoned as is the nearby city Pripyat.
The effects of the Chernobyl nuclear plant melt down were catastophic to the population. The plant lesked high levels of radiation in the area. People who lived near the plant were at risk of getting cancer.
No, Chernobyl is abandoned
