      Believe it or not, Chernobyl also continued to operate after the accident. The last unit was finally shut down in 2000, 14 years after the disaster.

      It’s not still running, it’s being decommissioned. But doing that are people, and those people technically work at the powerplant. The phrasing is pretty bad.

      Chernobyl on the other hand just kept running for another 14 years.

      I heard they are using the control rooms as training facilities. Two of the units were offline at the time the tsunami hit and are basically fine.
