 MOSCOW (AP) - The Chernobyl plant sits idle 20 years after the world's worst nuclear accident, its last reactor taken out of service some six years ago.
But a dozen other reactors of the same design remain in operation and some could be in service for another 30 years. Could another one blow up?
The explosion of April 26, 1986, is attributed by experts to a fatal combination of design flaws and poor staff training. The design problems have been addressed, but doubt remains about the human factor.
