That's why you put it in an inches thick metal case and drop it down low. What, you think they just didn't consider that?

- natmaka 5y agoSuch a major parameter wasn't considered 60 years ago... others ignored pertinent facts probably exists. My point was about what we (for the time being) ignore, albeit it is pertinent. They "considered" such facts using a somewhat light approach: 'Bob Loux, the executive director of the Nevada Agency for Nuclear Projects, expressed amazement that the US Department of Energy had only just carried out the "11th hour" drilling tests. "It certainly looks like DoE has encountered a surprise out there, and it certainly speaks to the fact they haven't done the technical work they should have done years ago," he told the paper. "It's going to have to cause some change of the design in the final analysis. It's going to impact the safety case."'
