We have deliberately initiated containment failures for military purposes -- we know what this looks like.
After Chernobyl we were told that it was a design failure compounded by human failure, etc., etc., and that in a modern reactor, meltdown was simply not possible.
Then Fukushima melted down.
So my priors right now are that we can not place a good bound on the total odds of a meltdown. How confident are you that with a modern reactor a meltdown is impossible? How confident are you that in a meltdown scenario the impact will be small?
- greyface- 4y agoCan you provide a specific source for the "millions to tens of millions" figure?
