I went to school next to THTR-300 which was built from 1971 on and is now defunct thanks to incompetence and huge failures in crisis management.

That, and incredibly unfortunate timing. I dare say that had the incident happened two weeks earlier, or several years later, there would have been no uproar - but for it to happen several days after Chernobyl, and for them to then try to cover it up... couldn't be worse.
