"... that's not exactly the best case is it?"
You could think about the outer building as keeping the rain out, and possibly aeroplanes to some extent. It is not the critical last defence against stuff happening in the reactor, the containment building is.
You can bet that the japanese army is keeping any possible threats out of there.
- JanezStupar 16y agoI read somewhere that this design does not have a containment dome. So basically containment wise (in comparison to Chernobil) this reactor is a bit better that it uses reactor containment vessel, but it does not use containment dome. I also read that on TMI a similar hydrogen explosion occurred but it was contained by containment dome.
- neutronicus 16y agoIt doesn't have a concrete containment dome. It's got a steel containment vessel surrounding the main reactor vessel, though.
