Biden Moves to Save Nuclear Power

[Weatherman2020]

Three Mile Island did NOT shutdown safely as it should have, it melted down.
Fukushima should have anticipated a tidal wave and designed for it.
Whoever reviewed the Fukushima design and gave it a license should be fired.

More people have died in Ted Kennedy’s car than in American nuclear power plants.

All these cheer leaders for power centralization.

Not one person on earth believes in Manmade Gorebal Warming.

Sounds like a good investment but why are they in a rundown condition today?

They are not. But new technology will make them even better.

Not true though the point is well received 3 navy men died ina nuclear power plant in the 50's of I remember right.

Never heard of recycling?

Turbine blades can be recycled.

Blades being buried.

No one knows how many have died in North America from nuclear pollution.

That was an experimental reactor by the Army in 61. Not a reactor online for the purpose of generating electricity.

Doesnt matter they died due to a nuclear reactor.

If the truth be known more people have died as a result of nuclear testing. The government apparently classified the number of U.S. Navy personnel who were ordered to board and clean ships (with radioactive water) that were used in atomic bomb tests in the Pacific and died of radiation related disease. Soldiers were ordered to train in close proximity to atomic bomb tests on U.S. soil. Atomic bomb tests became so numerous in Nevada that they became tourist attractions. The most notorious example of cancer deaths apparently related to radiation were a high number of actors in the movie "The Conqueror" starring Duke Wayne which was filmed in an area contaminated by radiation.

How many casualties were there from those three incident?

Three Mile Island worked perfectly as designed. Chernobyl was a poor design and operator error. Fukushima was a natural disaster no one could foresee happening.

And of course no one was ever in any danger? Funny thing about everything we build eventually something breaks down. Some light reading for you of casualties Nuclear and radiation accidents and incidents - Wikipedia

Good thing fossil fuels never hurt anyone or anything.

List the US nuclear power plant accidents (not some experimental testing model) that caused a death.

 

[Maxdeath]

Chernobyl was caused by a flawed design and poorly trained people, Three Mile Island was not the disaster everyone made it out to be, and Fukushima was caused by an earthquake and tsunami.

Can we pile the 300,000 turbine blades that will need to be replaced in the next 10 years in your front yard?

I do not advocate for wind power. It is a nice cottage industry for people to pretend that they are making a difference with.
But let me ask you a simple question. What exactly in my post ever made you think that I was in any way suggesting wind or any other form of creating electrical energy?

Because nuclear is the safest most environmentally friendly source of reliable energy on the planet.

 

[there4eyeM]

The most friendly and constant source of energy on earth is a fusion reactor 150,000,000 km. await.
