That said, there needs to be brutally transparent examination of operational safety and possible contingencies (e.g., terrorism, earthquakes, tidal waves, heat waves, etc).
Exactly how much examination and experience do we need to have with nuclear before we start using it more?
- pstuart 3y agoMoving to SMRs are "new" and it would imply a lot more reactors out there as well in possibly more "casual" environments (e.g., sticking them in existing coal plants to leverage the existing infra). Then getting third parties to vet designs/operational plans to look for weaknesses... My point is simply that as promising as it is (very), we need a belt and suspenders approach to safety.
