Regulations on nuclear power plants bunch of BS?
With its containment structure gone, a melt-down at the Fukushima Daiichi will expose radioactive contaminants directly to the environment.
This is stupid. A nuclear power plant fails due to a lack of electricity to power the cooling system? What the hell? I thought the whole point of a reactor is to generate electricity! So a powerplant has to rely on external battery and cooling equipments to shut itself off? This tells me the plant is hopelessly outdated. Why was this old plant allowed to operate at all, in a country where earthquakes are so commonplace? |
