Uh Oh, here we go again. I absolutely do not trust nuclear power plants because man hasn’t yet shown he really knows what he’s dealing with. Kinda like a baby with a loaded shotgun.
I have several issues of concern about Fukushima
It was built on a known fault line , close to the ocean (for cooling purposes), apparently with disregard fro Tsunami .
After the disaster happened, I was wondering why they kept pouring water onto the roof; it seems that is where they stored the 'spent fuel rods' that were less powerful
in what they call a 'cooling pool', for pre-warming the water which would be sent into the reactor vessel which would later become steam for turbine generation of electricity.
Why would anybody store a cooling pool above the reactor, elevated some three floors up over the nuclear reactor vessel ?
Based on the information today, it would appear that even robots which are designed to withstand radiation, cannot withstand this level radiation for longer than 2 hours.
Liquid Flouride nuclear reactors are basically fail safe and do not produce waste. The technology has been around since the 50s but was abandoned because it doesn’t produce nuclear materials that were needed to support nuclear weapons programs at the time.
Big difference. Nuclear can be extremely safe.
