- rurban 6y agoYou missed the high-risk experimental South Texas Nuclear powerstation near Houston, which almost went off after the last hurricane. If the river levels swap over into the coolant ponds, the pumps get dirty and stop working. Last time it was something like 30 cm left. This wouldn't be a simple radiation leak, more like a Fukushima meltdown. Just with double sized 1600MW vessels, not simple 800MW. The safety measures were always substandard. Palo Verde, which is an even bigger risk reactor, is much better protected and managed. Even if they have not enough cooling water.
