> You still have to remember that the Fukushima reactors were also old and crappy designs. This is only comforting if we stopped operating "old and crappy" reactors. But overall, your comment seems to agree with my point, as you wrote: > Tepco also refused to upgrade or improve several safety measures. > ignored a lot of safety knowledge the Sowjets had at that time, but took intentional shortcuts to be cheaper and make the fuel more accessible This the point I tried(, but not neccesarily succeded) to make: We should expect this kind of corner cutting and underfunding.
