Instead of just acknowledging the FACT that it was SHEER LUCK that Mother Nature didn't decide to go a few feet more, nuke wonks and toadies just keep harping on ONE part of the story. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!
They had additonal contingency plans in place to handle a few more feet of water. From the added berms, to sealing the buildings there were multiple paths they could have taken to address any other issues. Again, the main thing is the flooding was anticipated, so even the online reactor was brought to shutdown, and they had days to enact the critical cooling that is needed in the 2-4 days after a hard shutdown. Fukishima didnt have that. No warning, no cooldown period, and instead of a gradual rise of a river, it had a 48 foot high wall of water hit it.
We're not talking about Fukishima, Marty Boy......AGAIN, THE UPRECEDENTED FLOOD WATERS WERE NOT PART OF THE CONTINGENCY PLAN. AGAIN, HAD THE WATER GONE A FEW MORE FEET, AFTER THE BERM WALL BROKE, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS TROUBLE DESPITE THE COINCIDENTAL COLD SHUTDOWN.
By the Grace of God, Marty Boy.....and God doesn't give a damn about your contingency plans. Grow the hell up and deal with it.
And for a more comical response:
