I agree, fundamentally, with what you say. I just don't see how letting
what's essentially becoming a third-world nation after fifty years of being
a technological leader, freeze because it displeases US for them to run
their flawed reactor, for which they've already paid, is gong to help
anyone, especially since they can't just build a replacement with any
technology.
Surviving to get there is more important than having a pristine "there" to
get. It doesn't matter if we're all surely going to die if we're already
dead.

Well, what you don't know. Chernobyl is 4 plants, one crashed due to
operator error. It was a hell of a mess that will take a long time to
disappear. In the meantime people are cold and hungry. Maybe it's not
right but, neither is sick people. Right now that country is trying to
make it as something other than communist I think they have enough right
at that.
