The separate radiation leak is barely mentioned in the article as still under investigatTwo problems at one plant is indicative of the whole industry. Unproven new technologi
Two radiation leaks at two different plants in America in one month shows how precarious nuclear is.
Nuclear needs to be phased out and their huge subsidies redirected to clean energy.
Waiting for a disaster nearby residents and the taxpayers will be stuck paying for is bad policy.

Still haven't heard about the damage to steam generatorsYeah, that's perfect, shut them down and keep them down, one at a time.
Each one is victory.
Each plant that is made non-economic to run or repair is a victory.
Maybe we can't convince the pro-nuke crowd that nuke is too powerful for humans to run, but we can convince them that it is too expensive to run.
I wonder how the "tubes" are in all the Japanese reactors...
ReplyDeleteThe NRC gave the Nuclear Industry a "PASS" on the tube wear issue before on San Onofre and other reactors around the Country http://wp.me/p21p6a-77L
BUT NOW
They are realizing that they have a much bigger problem than they first "imagined"; metal erosion cannot be tolerated when the radioactive leakage is not only high in temperature but also high in amount of radiation!
Would you use a dangerous leaking pressure pot day after day,
... or would you be smart and replace it with something safer?

Why nuclear is on the way out:
1. Radiation is dangerous to man
2. Expensive to build compared to Competitive Power Sources.
3. Creates long lasting radioactive waste
4. Risky because Nature can destroy any land based nuclear reactor,
… Any place anytime 24/7/365!
5. No insurance for radioactive damages to property or people!
Excellent comment!
ReplyDeleteTEPCO is only out for TEPCO at this point in time... All their top people will retire soon... And they don't care about anyones future,... Except their own!
