mr. jenkins, appreciate it. >> good morning. how are you? >> very well.re hearing comparisons to chernobyl, how bad the situation could be, and then we hear other people say, you know, these nuclear plants are completely different from the ones that existed in chernobyl. can you clear that up for us? >> that's absolutely true. the chernobyl reactor was a russian design based on a graphite moderated reactor. when fissions happen in a reactor, neutrons are emitted and those neutrons need to be slowed down. as they get slowed down by graphite, they can be slowed down far enough to cause a fission in uranium atoms. light water reactors, which is what they have in japan and also in the united states, the water is what slows down the neutrons as opposed to the graphite. in the case of a light water reactor if you have a loss of coolant accident, which is what we've experienced at three mile island and at the daiichi plants, when the coolant goes away, you also lose your moderators. so the reaction shuts down. in the case of chernobyl, the moderator stayed there
