    That 3 in 60 is pretty loaded since Chernobyl simply would not have been possible with western reactors of the same design year, to say nothing of what passed as modern than and even more so now.

      It would also not have been possible with their design, if all the failguards wouldn’t have failed.

      But 2 in 60 years, both of western design, is still more than that study estimated.
