When the reactor explodes, Cloud drops down into Midgar's slums.
The radioactive elements released from the reactor form clouds that are carried off by the prevailing winds.
We are still a long way from having a permanent storage site for the most dangerous of the nuclear waste which reactors produce, and many people still vividly remember the accident at Chernobyl in 1986, when an exploding Russian reactor sent a cloud of radioactive pollution right across Europe.
This Sunday marks the 29th anniversary of the world's worst nuclear disaster, when a power surge blew the roof off a reactor, spewing radioactive clouds across Russia, and eastern Europe.
The plasma in a commercial reactor will be a cloud of atom-size H-bombs detonating unceasingly.
I started to imagine how places like the Nibel Reactor, where Sephiroth and Cloud realize the horror of Jenova, will look on current-gen tech, or how badass summoning Neo Bahamut will be in 1080p.

So who was brave enough to buy Tepco's shares when investors feared its damaged reactors could release a cloud of radiation toward Tokyo at any moment?
Yaroslov Shtrombakh, a Russian nuclear expert, said it was unlikely that the Japanese plant would suffer a meltdown like the one in 1986 at Chernobyl, when a reactor exploded and sent a cloud of radiation over much of Europe.
It is unlikely now, they say, that terrorists could steal an atomic bomb, buy one on the black market or crash a jet into a nuclear reactor to produce a radioactive cloud.
