No, I am talking about german news reports. It makes no sense for the soviets to say that light water reactors are safe after a graphite moderated system has gone out of control.
Chernobyl could never happen in germany, because the construction of light water reactors is inherently safe. Thats what the news reported and the politicians claimed.
Do you see what happens now? Something like in Japan can never happen, because we don't have earthquakes and Tsunamis like they have.
These reports are not reliable. The basic idea, that a reactor has to shut down, if it gets out of control, is the right one. But it seems, the idea is not implemented well enough, even in the light water reactors.
