Why is the Soviet lack of containment vessels a big deal? The easy explanation is this: a Chernobyl style accident at a US plant (or a French plant, for that matter) would be terrifically expensive -- and would release no more radiation than TMI did. That's what that big-*ss reinforced concrete dome is for! The non-Soviet world has done a far far better job of safety than did the Soviets.
