I have done two things in my life that makes me an expert on this. One as a submariner I have to know a lot about the reactor on a submarine. By earning my "Dolphins" I have to get a good knowledge of how it all works and the safety features. They were pretty damn safe. Second, I did a lot of earthquake construction by upgrading elevators in Los Angeles. If they can have a Nuclear Reactor that's safe on a floating war ship, two on a big carrier, where one can supply enough electricity to power a city in the Philippines. Then they can build a safe reactor near cities in the US.
I would rather live near a reactor than one of those giant propane storage tanks
Explains what? That I will know more about nuclear power than you can ever conceive of knowing? |
right on, as I mentioned I tend to agree. (btw, I'm not one of the anti-vendzilla posters here at teh gfy).
That said, fukashima was doing perfectly fine until the earthquake. The only difference between fuku and every single nuke plant we have here on fault lines is ours haven't had to withstand an earthquake and consequently, a tsunami. That's sheer luck.
