The real irony of Chernobyl is that the biggest part of the accident was a graphite (CARBON!!) fire in which the resulting smoke particles carried radioactive atoms far and wide....see, it's a carbon problem, not a nuclear problem. ;)

The accident in the former Soviet Union is an altogether different case,
here the health effects are not in question, that accident released a very large
amount of fission products and transuranic isotopes to the environment. This
did not happen at TMI.
