When a meltdown occurs the fissile material can no longer be kept safely cool. When this happens, the nuclear material will detonate. A nuclear explosion is what happened at Chernobyl, sending radiation over hundreds of miles.
Ah, bullshit. A meltdown is when the nuclear material gets too hot to control, and then melts through the floor, basically. Nothing man has ever made can contain 5000 degree material. But it will never, ever dentonate because you need extreme pressure to create what is called "critical mass". Fission (current nuke plants) never happen in nature. Fusion (like the sun) only happen in suns. To create a fission bomb (ie. "detonate") requires serious explosives placed in precise places around the fission material. Just making it hot doesn't do shit.
Also, Chernobyl was NOT, NOT, a nuclear explosion, you ass monkey. It was a pressure explosion caused by an incorrect reactor design, one that the US always knew was a bad design because it could explode like Chernobyl did- and never built a reactor like that one. The Soviets/Russians did because it is a cheaper design. Yes, radiation was spread around, but it was NOT a nuke explosion, and it was caused by a KNOWN bad design.
You do not know your facts. I would also bet that you are an anti-nuke person, and just bash anyone who is pro-nuke without even learning the facts.
Bah.
Vote monkeys into Congress. They are cheaper and more trustworthy.
And you, sir, are an idiot. I have copied below my response to the parent post so you may acquire some knowledge.

Sugar Act. Parliament, desiring revenue from its North American colonies, passed the first law specifically aimed at raising colonial money for the Crown. The act increased duties on non-British goods shipped to the colonies.
Currency Act. This act prohibited American colonies from issuing their own currency, angering many American colonists.
Of course! these events in 1764 are the base of American colonial opposition!
