Prypiat is the most famous of these abandoned towns ; it was built for the workers of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and had a population of almost 50, 000 at the time of the disaster.

Heavy water has very low neutron absorption, so heavy water reactors such as CANDU reactors also have a positive void coefficient, though it is not as large as that of an RBMK like Chernobyl ; these reactors are designed with a number of safety systems not found in the original RBMK design, which are designed to handle or react to this as needed.

The United Nations ( UNSCEAR ) estimated in 2008 that average annual human radiation exposure includes 0. 01 mSv ( milli-Sievert ) from the legacy of past atmospheric nuclear testing plus the Chernobyl disaster and the nuclear fuel cycle, along with 2. 0 mSv from natural radioisotopes and 0. 4 mSv from cosmic rays ; all exposures vary by location.

The disaster prompted worldwide calls for the reactors to be completely decommissioned, although there is still considerable reliance on RBMK facilities for power in Russia and the post-Soviet republics ; the last RBMK at Chernobyl was not shut down until 2000, and as of 2012 there were still at least 11 RBMK reactors operating in Russia.

The so-called " China syndrome " would be this process taken to an extreme: the molten mass working its way down through the soil to the water table ( and below )-however, current understanding and experience of nuclear fission reactions suggests that the molten mass would become too disrupted to carry on heat generation before descending very far ; for example, in the Chernobyl disaster the reactor core melted and core material was found in the basement, too widely dispersed to carry on a chain reaction ( but still dangerously radioactive ).

In part to resolve this and related questions about the dangers of industrial accidents and popular fears of runaway events equivalent to Chernobyl and Bhopal disasters, and the more remote issue of ecophagy, grey goo and green goo ( various potential disasters arising from runaway replicators, which could be built using mechanosynthesis ) the UK Royal Society and UK Royal Academy of Engineering in 2003 commissioned a study to deal with these issues and larger social and ecological implications, led by mechanical engineering professor Ann Dowling.
