Probably far off in the future but assuming we perfect robotics and A.I. wouldn't it be possible to manage nuclear with no human-hands?
The thing then will be who takes responsibility for accidents caused by robots..
- gus_massa 9y agoI'm not so optimistic: * Fuckushima: A giant tsunami hit the plant, cut the external power lines and drawn the emergency generators. Not even waterproof robot will fix that. (You can blame bad design or not enough preparation, but robots will not solve that.) * Chernobyl: They disable a few safety system to make some stupid tests. Apparently the safety system were necessary. If you can override the orders of the robots with a password, they will obey stupid orders. (You can blame bad design here too, to make the accident bigger.) * Three Mile Island: Apparently it was partially an human error. Robots may have helped. (Let's blame also bad design a little.)
