Then for some reason, on one of the shows they showed a volcano erupting?!?!
The conclusion, proven by a solid, settled, consensus in the scientific community, was that nuclear power plants would blow up just like Hiroshima and Nagasaki and then cause volcanos to erupt. Still waiting for that explosion.
Oh, and Chernobly was a graphite pile reactor with no containment, so please spare me that comparison.

You mean they decided on a conclusion, then shaped a story to meet that conclusion, including only talking to "experts" who shared their conclusions?
