Seriously. They don't have a particularly good track record for nuclear accidents.

No kidding. They had the Chernobyl before Chernobyl.

Environmental concerns were not taken seriously during the early development stage. Initially Mayak was dumping high-level radioactive waste into a nearby river, which flowed to the river Ob, flowing farther down to the Arctic Ocean. All six reactors were on Lake Kyzyltash and used an open-cycle cooling system, discharging contaminated water directly back into the lake.

And this isn't even the specific disaster the article is about.

Did you know that horny gamers will pay beaucoup bucks via Patreon for images of female characters from fighting games being hosed by anything you can imagine as long as they could rip the model data from another video game? I mean, of course you knew it in your heart, but I can confirm that it was all over Tumblr.

The Chinese Navy is having collision problems too.

Update: Crash knocked Chinese mystery warship's secret tech onto Taiwan freighter posted:

High-tech radar from Mystery Chinese warship that fell onto Taiwan freighter during collision could reveal its identity

The Coast Guard in a press release issued today denied that any such "light detection and ranging radar (Lidar)" or "gun fire-control radar" had been found on the Yutai No. 1.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- As more details emerge of the collision between a Taiwanese freighter and a mysterious Chinese warship near Kinmen, it appears that secret, high-technology radar equipment had fallen off the Chinese vessel and onto the Taiwanese ship, providing clues as to what kind of ship it really was.

At 8 p.m. on July 31, the Yutai No. 1 was slammed into by an unidentified Chinese warship 19.5 miles southeast of Liaoluo Port in Kinmen. The Taiwanese ship sustained damage, but none of its crew were injured, according to the report.

In an interview with Bloomberg, the 72-year-old captain of the Taiwanese ship, Fu Shih-hour, said that the commander of the Chinese warship tried to coerce him into navigating his ship into China's port of Xiamen. Fu said he refused the Chinese captain's demands and instead called the Taiwan Coast Guard for help.

After receiving the distress signal from Fu, the Kinmen branch of the Coast Guard dispatched PP-10053 to the scene, and PP-10039 was sent to support it. By 10 p.m., PP-10053 established contact with Yutai No. 1 and confirmed that the hull was damaged, but there were no safety concerns and the crew was unharmed.

The Coast Guard said that after an extensive search, PP-10053 established contact with the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) vessel. The PLAN ship's captain said that his vessel had been damaged in the collision as well and needed to return to Xiamen Port for repairs.

The PLAN ship refused to stop and submit to inspection by the Taiwanese and ceased communications with the Taiwanese patrol boat. When the ship's crew noticed that some electronic equipment had fallen on the the front deck, they informed the military to send personnel to inspect it.

When specialists inspected the equipment, they were shocked and immediately packaged it up and told everyone at the scene to not leak any information about what they had seen.

Taiwanese inspectors examined the Yutai No.1, they found "unknown large instruments" on the front deck. According to sources who spoke with China Times, the equipment is either light detection and ranging radar (Lidar) or gun fire-control radar.

A source familiar with the situation told China Times that the Chinese warship involved in the accident was one of two PLAN ships that were prowling in the Taiwan Strait near the island of Kinmen on Wednesday night. There had been speculation that it was either the Type 071 amphibious transport dock "Longhushan" or the new Type 055 destroyer.
