Nuclear Fallout

I'll bite on this. First off, If these plants were built with all intentions as a result of the worst case. None would have ever been built because of cost. So they cut where they felt was right. Problem is, they made those cuts. If money was not a factor, we could have the best electrical power in such abundance we would jump for joy, (If we are young enough to do so). Nuclear can be made safe if we keep the dam bean counters out of the equation. Yes, initially it is very expensive to build a Safe and clean Nuclear power source. Maybe we need to consider making them smaller, but more of them. Like 200Mw each. Think small and many as long as they are built with out the bean counters input. Japan could have never in ,how many years? Anticipated in what happened. No one is to blame for this. Are you going to do research 26000 years back to see oh wait. This happened back then... OK so maybe they should have anticipated a 9.0 and built accordingly. 9 Mile 2 was a faulty valve, but not just 1 but 2. Bean Counters are responsible for that one. Waste, yes it is an issue, and a big one. Bush/Yucca Mountain. Fault line directly under. Bad Idea. Nice that is in the middle of no where except the fault line. So Where do we store the N waste? Why store it? Why use Plutonium? Why not use what goes away on a couple months once exposed? Nuclear can be very safe if it is thought out correctly, built right and if we keep the bean counters way or at the bar. Where they belong. They can count the molecules oxygen of the Bourbon bubbling to the top of the bottle.

This is a result of something called the Hiroshima Syndrome, and the media reports don't help. It is not as bad as people fear. Please check the website www.hiroshimasyndrome.com/fukushima-accident-updates.html for more objective and reasonable reporting.

As in another post, storage of used fuel (most people call it waste) from thermal reactors is a problem; however, newer reactor designs can use this as fuel; thereby reducing the amount. It also has a much shorter half life. I think these newer reactors use fast neutrons instead of thermal neutrons.
