A Chernobyl-type accident would not be possible for a Western-style reactor
What will be an ideal response?
This is the case. There are far fewer holes in the containment building, and
Western-style reactors have negative void coefficients under normal operation, while
RBMK reactors do not have this safety feature, and have positive void coefficients.
