No, I cannot agree with this. As many others stated, the facts on this show was portrayed remarkably accurately.

The events that happend should be shown as close to as what really happened to honor those who died and to teach those who need to learn from history with the real truth.

Your particular political agendas and idealisms should not be used to nudge the story of what happend to change societal opinions. Misrepresentation of reality to change societal opinions is exactly why stuff went wrong in Chernobyl.

If we're going to be investing in nuclear, we need to be absolutely clear-headed, honest and scared. Nuclear oopsies will impact societies for thousands of years. Thousands.

Besides, think about this, if the predictions that organised human civilization will inevitably collapse in the next couple of decades is accurate, the LAST thing we need is more nuclear powerstations.

There are currently about 450+ reactors running worldwide - what happens when the societies that maintain them take a dip? What happens when even half of those go into meltdown?
