I understand at least one of our nuke plants, in California, is literally built over an earthquake fault, and that several plants in the South East are also built in areas of seismic activity. So there are seismic areas everywhere. The problem in Japan was cooling shut down, at least with limited info published. They perhaps could have not had a problem with something as simple as adequate back up diesel generators or pumps. What would you do? Pick out a cave yet? :) What I wouldn't do is make a pronouncement that our nuclear plants are a "lot more sophisticated and more redundant safety" than the Japanese plants, since both probably were designed and built by the same US manufacturer, GE. What about Westinghouse, dip****? And I do hope you know that just because the reactor itself is made by a certain company doesn't mean that every piece and part was. |

I haven't been opposed to nuclear power. I live about 20 miles from one. But this latest incident in Japan sure gives one pause. Thanks for putting the dip in his place. (That was your March response, BTW.) Scotty, take heed. |

Do you realize that in the U.S. the standard design for nuke plants for sunamis, earthquakes, flood, etc. is to use a 10,000 year event span? So does Japan claim the same. You trust these *******s to tll the truth? I have some beach front land for sale cheap too... |

I think the significant thing is that the problem wasn't the 9.0 earthquake, it was the tsunami. That makes most of the US reactors somewhat immune to the biggest problem. It does highlight how vulnerable the cooling systems are to unexpected second order effects. The Japanese had diesel generators for backup power and then the diesels got knocked out by the tsunami. There are a lot of other things that can knock out diesel generators however. The track record of standby diesels performing reliably in an emergency is spotty at best. It takes an extremely rigorous maintenance and testing regime starting with fuel storage, filtration practices, etc. All reactors should and can be designed in a way they can remove core elements and stop the reaction. Why were these 4 reactors not designed this way? Cheap design? Poor engineering? How many more like it are out there? |
