Of, they will simply shut down. Right, and they not going to disintegrate within just a few decades.
Even Chernobyl’s New Safe Confinement is designed to last only 100 years. With almost 500 reactors in the world, with 100 years of our disappearance at least some of them would go into meltdown, and destroy most of the life on the planet.. Nuclear indeed is a very environmental option.
- bpodgursky 9y agoYou need to do some research. I'm willing to debate points, but nonsense claims like "destroy most of the life on the planet" tell me you are an idealogue with no concept of the orders of magnitude involved in any failure scenario.

Doesn't it make sense that uncontrolled meltdowns at ~ 700 reactors world wide would release so much radiation that pretty much all higher forms of life would die off?
