Ask the Japanese why they have a no go zone and ask Russia, after 25 years, why there is still a Chernobyl no go zone plus ask why another sarcophagus is being built for containment and who is paying for it.

Yeah, salt is just a great thing for plumbing, must be why there is a rush to build these new reactors...not. Don't have to read, just browse the headlines for what happens when things go wrong and there is no answers so there is no preparation for a fix. It's all jury-rig. Sunday, July 24, 2011

You raise an interesting point about the effect of salt on plumbing. Obviously they need to use the right kind of materials for the plumbing. The Thorium LFTR concept was proven back in the 60s and 70s, so clearly they must have solved that basic engineering problem.

Oh, I am big supporter of Nuclear energy and my initial comment was totally correct.

It is surprising that the Luddites have not raised a big stink about nukes after this event.

Fast forward two years to see how utterly preposterous this article is. Fukushima is a nuke mess getting bigger still.

With the news this week from Fukushima it is time for you to correct your position. Two years later you could not have been proven more wrong.
