No, the bridge collapsed because it was never touched again after initial deployment, for 10 years. How are buildings doing in Chernobyl? Don’t neglect your data, if you want to keep it safe always. :P

Dude, Chernobyl reactor by design was nuclear bomb.

P.S. My father (still alive) was one of thousands of common liquidators of Chernobyl disaster from May to July 1986. Many of his coworkers, that lived with him in same tent, already dead.

Chernobyl was not quite a "nuclear bomb" in the sense that Pripyat isn't a charred crater. Nuclear reactors, when they fail, just spread their radiation all over.

Concrete is pretty resilient and even if it cracks it can still hold up quite well but when it does, the rebar gets exposed and starts to oxidize until the building finally crumbles.
