Personally, I'm incredibly impressed with the design of these reactors. The spent fuel pools not as much, but all in all, a complete station blackout after a 9.0 earthquake and a 8 meter tall tsunami, the plants dropped offline, and even without coolant, none of the expected horror stories have panned out in the slightest bit.

But then again, the most strident doom-mongers are the same old anti-nuclear crowd as always, working to drum up the level of fear for their own political gain, because heaven help us if they don't have a tragedy to usurp and exploit.

Unfortunately, several of those strident doom-mongers are here at FR.

Kudos to the Japanese atomjacks, and here’s hoping they continue to effect improvement in the very serious situation at Daiichi.
