If we didn’t have idiot environs standing in the way they COULD BE safe. We are using 1950s tech. There are lots of reactor designs that could be be built that are far safer then what we have. Only the hysteria about the word “ nuclear” prevents any kind of rational thought or action in this area.
The enviros also magnify the problem by blocking any attempt to put the spent fuel in proper storage. Instead it sits RIGHT NEXT to the reactors, and in the case of Fukishima ON TOP of the reactors.
Radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster has not been “anything of concern” in Alaska since the 2011 tsunami, the state commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation told lawmakers on Wednesday.
Commissioner Larry Hartig said the state has not seen concerning radiation levels from tsunami debris or in the water since the event and has no plans to launch its own radiation monitoring team.
“We’re talking about such small units in the millionths, billionths or trillionths level and how you relate to a dose that’s relevant to people. It just shows that you get more radiation risk from eating a banana than eating a tuna in that area.”
I know it is very safe. People are hysterical. It is safe.
Safe safe safe.
Of course, the Japanese, the tech savvy Japanese won’t be building anything else too soon. If we ever find out what’s going on there we’ll have better data
A lot of us know how it works guys get together with some meat technology and they buy the salesmans rap it’s safe clean bla bla don’t listen to your hysterical wives on this. And then a disaster happens and, depending on the country but overall, no one talks. But the wives were right. Well a lot of wives will put up with this fooling around but the wise ones, the jaded ones who’ve been lied to for eras, about things they can see, they say no
After Fukushima, I can guarantee the Long Islanders are glad they don’t have to worry it won’t happen in their backyard wisdom prevails
And they are NOT tree huggers.
