Do you actually believe people that get degrees in nuclear engineering are not smart enough to understand basics and safety?
You grossly over simplify and then criticize those that do the actual work.
It was not a lack of batteries that caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.
Plus you must understand both of you, that under totalitarian government, science does not trump politics...ever.
Science will not be the driving factor on production of these reactors. The politics, the patronage , and the corruption associated with communist hierarchy will be driving the construction planning.Therefore the fact that nuclear engineers know about safety is a moot point.And it is how substandard materials get into such facilities.
It was politics and the failure of government that exacerbated Fukushima into the disaster it eventually became.They would not even allow unfettered extra national assitance from anyone.It will be the same for China.
