Scaling the surface this means 200 nuclear power plants in the US. There already are 50 so another 150 to go. More chances for Fukushima / Chernobyl situations.
- the_third_wave 3y agoDon't build them on fault zones and tsunami-frequented coastlines, problem solved. There's sure to be 150 locations in the US where neither earthquakes nor tsunamis are frequent occurrences. Also, don't build graphite-core dual-purpose (power- and weapons-grade fissile material-producing) reactors without documenting the dual purpose and without telling the operating personnel about reactor behaviour under stress situations.
