Good I guess, as long as you don't have an earthquake.



There is not a no risk utopia.
We have to learn to safely handle nuclear power, and coal, etc.
Ultimately nuclear wins out.
Japanese are not
ultimate technologists. Our Nuclear Power Plants are a lot more
sophisticated and more redundant safety.


Oh, really? Please provide proof that our creaky old nuclear power
plants are a lot more sophisticated and more "redundant safety" than the
equally old (or new) Japanese nuclear power plants. 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.

NRC is pretty strict. They'll fine your butt for chewing gum on the
sidewalk, so to speak.

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.

Oh, and all the reactors at the plant in question were designed by...you
guessed it...General Electric. All but one were built by...you guessed
it...General Electric.

But *our* nuclear power plants built by...you guessed it...General
Electric...are a lot safer.

Well maybe we could have Westinghouse designed Chinese, N Korean, or.....
I have no idea since I don't inspect them.
Maybe you do?

A friend of mine did, that was his job. He inspected these facilities as
they are being built, and I don't even want to repeat what he told me,
let's just say it wasn't good...

Stupid is spending your on-line life trying to elicit responses from
someone who obviously ignores you/blocks your posts and has no intention
of responding.

Have a nice day, Loogy.
