Water with boron...folks...
it is water with boron.
Yishieie!!!!
All this Chernobyl talk is BS. The two plants designs alone were vastly different.
"TOKYO (Nikkei)--The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) said Saturday afternoon the explosion at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant could only have been caused by a meltdown of the reactor core.
They're more alike than they are different. Both use uranium, produce heat by "tickling the dragon" to generate steam that turns a turbine and BOTH have experienced an explosion when control of the process was lost. Something that was never suppose to be able to happen.
I look and hope for the Japanese to succeed in shutting this one down with only a minor radioactive release, unlike Chernobyl. If they can't however, the result can be as bad or even worse than Chernobyl.
