A year ago or so I happened to look through a congressional report raising concerns about safety of nuclear power plants in this country, USA. I was really alarmed to learn that Progress Energy, an utility operating five nuclear facilities in the Carolinas and Florida, was being particularly problematic with four of its plants requiring serous improvements. Matter of fact Florida is the place where I've been living for 10 years already.
Actually, those are not just rusty pipes or leaky roofs. Those are leaks of some radioactive stuff due to serious malfunctions in cooling systems and other you know. Furthermore, there have been several such leaks in this state already! Health and lives of our four kids are under deadly threat! All the time the officials have been keeping their lips sealed about it! How come? I've made a try to dig into whole matter in hope something may be done to improve the situation. Alas! I was deeply discouraged and perplexed when I became fully aware of the fact nothing has been done so far. They cite lack of funds and crisis effect still having its impact and other things.
I made my own conclusions. Those are some construction mistakes and not quite reliable equipment we actually owe that insufficient nuclear safety to presently. It was really a revelation for me that nuclear plant equipment of the French and Russian make appear to be much more reliable and long-lasting than ours in fact. But our authorities seem reluctant to buy it. Why?
I suspect our officials are now waiting for sort of Fukushima in this country so that to start doing something at last.... But I can't wait you know..,.. I tend to think we'd rather move to some other place of living, some other country perhaps, to enjoy more safety and raise our kids in more friendly environment you know.
