What size nuclear disaster must strike the globe before the nuclear industry gives up on this dirty and dangerous method of energy production?

If we are willing to swallow that, we have lost ALL our useful skepticism.

The complexities involved in an unpredictable explosion are beyond anticipation in anything but a very approximate way, and the safety multiplier for design safety ended up putting critical control of back up power in a plant located next to the ocean in a below ground, BELOW sea level location.

Pour on the ocean water! It's the citizens' best hope...

No "expert" is going to say it on the tele, but I think most would agree this is a completely different explosion than the first one we saw. Why is CNN not showing the actual explosion, b/c this one is burning new materials. The color of smoke indicates that, as does the smoke plumes is different (rises faster). I'll be interested to see what the west coast (USA) air monitors are going to pick up. Alaska, Washington and Oregon would be the area of interest. If state and federal monitors go down (they have in the past to not record such an incident - see Los Alamos National Lab wildfires), there are Tribal air monitors that could only be shut down by the Tribe. During the Los Alamos fire, Taos Pueblo has the only recorded air monitoring data and it is not good news.

This is not the time for Americans to go nuts and start rallies again against Nuclear Power...
It is the time to examine what occurred.. Learn and move forward...
Nuclear is truly a great alternative to fossil Fuels...
At least until Mankind finds another resource with as many BTUs of energy as Oil....
Right now.. Nothing else even comes close...

:sarcasm:

Another, not so great idea.

...as long as it's not in your neighborhood, right?

What size disaster would make you change your tune?

A city?

If we lost a city would that be enough?

A country?

What?

There are too many unknowns with potentially catastrophic consequences, and there are too many corporations more than willing to cut costs and pay bribes to make profits. Hell, these guys didn't even factor in the magnitude of the tsunami or its effect on their generators and the electrical grid. Now the plants are blowing their tops like agitated soda bottles. No thanks.

it was debated at the time.

The Richter Scale goes to 10. They gambled on 7.9 and lost. Gambling with nuclear power is a bad idea.

The excuse that keeps on giving. Truly genius in its vagueness and the multitude of its areas of application.

LOL

plutonium is the most deadliest poison known to man

Botulinum is the deadliest. .0035 mg is enough to kill an average sized human.

Honestly asking here.

Natural disasters- while highly significant- are not political. I'm not seriously suggesting that this thread should be locked, I'm trying to make the point that the three (well, 2 + 1 dupe) that are linked in my previous post should not have been locked. Similar threads have not been locked in the past, and these threads have more to do with politics- since they depict human opinions and points of view- than a natural disaster does. I could go down the list and find dozens of vids posted here that are not political in the strictest sense of the word- I don't agree with these three being singled out.
