      For those of you who were confused by Maya, like me, it is the Mayak or Kyshtyn accident.

      That being said, I don’t think the nuclear industry of today should be hamstrung by Soviet incompetence and corruption from the 1950s. I mean these guys at this location were running open loop cooling circuits into the lake and river. We know better than this nowadays.
