Devastating natural disaster. Fukishima handled the earthquake fine it was when (i believe) their generators were washed away that the problem started.
I would never advocate for a nuclear power plant on the side of an active volcano. at all.
You put the right technology in the right spot.
Also, I'm really hoping to see thorium get more time in the sun because it doesn't go critical and cause a catastrophe. They melt down but don't explode (from what I've been able to find).
- hanniabu 7y agoYes, thorium plus smaller reactors would be nice. A few years ago I saw work being done on reactors the size of a car that are much safer because the fuel is only the size of a tennis ball and much easier to control as well as contain if anything were to go wrong. The issue I see with this approach though is that if there's too many then maintenance and monitoring becomes difficult.
