you know that after a hurricane it's way harder to restart a nuclear power plant than a wind turbine right?
it's incredible hard to power a nuclear plant if your grid is destroyed. basically you can't start a nuclear power plant with no power at all.
- sudosysgen 6y agoNuclear reactors never completely turn off. They have generators that can supply the necessary power to run baseline systems and to restart them at any time.
- merb 6y agothat is not true, when there are disasters they sometimes get shutdown, to not have another catastrophe. and even then just "restarting" it, is not as easy as restarting software.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoWe know from Fukishima that generators fail.
