Looking for clarification since many people on FR are convinced the company is lying to everyone.
“Looking for clarification since many people on FR are convinced the company is lying to everyone.”
There are, I think, three things going on.
1. The anti-nuke maniacs call anyone a liar who denies that we’re all going to die in ten minutes.
2. People with real scientific knowledge and expertise reject the clowns described in 1. above, but also think that some things the company has said violate the laws of physics.
3. People who have spent a lot of time in Japan instinctively know that the company and Government will minimize everything for as long as they can.
Saw a special on Three Mile Island today that was **very** informative. I never knew that Jimmy Carter did anything right, ever, but he did do something courageous in that connection.
The whack-job anti-nuke maniacs and their accomplices in the lamestream misleadia were trying to panic everyone, as always, but another contingent of scientists was saying that they were wrong.
The Peanut Farmer manned up and went to TMI to see for himself. He was trained in nuclear power, and did know a lot, so he looked at the plant and heard all the arguments. Astoundingly, he decided that the anti-nuke maniacs were wrong, that the plant wasn’t going to blow, and that non-maniacs should be given the time to cool the plant down.
He was right. Much as it herniates my cortex to admit it, Jimmy Carter was right about TMI.
No member of the public was killed, no significant amounts of radiation were emitted, and subsequent efforts by anti-nuke maniacs to link that radiation with illnesses in the area have failed, despite the most desperate efforts of tireless whackos.
And this is the Three-Mile Island “disaster.”
The most ironic thing is that the plant was designed to shut down automatically if such a problem occurred. It was the incompetent reactions of the personnel at the plant that actually caused the plant to heat up and threaten to melt its core.
If there had been no people there, the plant would have shut down automatically, there would have been no “crisis,” and no one would would even have heard the name of Three-Mile Island.
The thing to remember is that anti-nuke pukes and their accomplices in the media always, always, always lie.
