Leading Nuke Expert: "The problem is that you always get surprises..."

Frigyes Reisch, an associate professor at the Department for Nuclear Power Safety at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), is a leading expert on nuclear safety.

When asked "Should the people of Sweden be concerned about nuclear power," he replied; "Yes. I think so. The problem is that you always get surprises, Three Mile Island and so on. And now again a surprise. No one in the world would have expected this. "

When asked "Do you still support nuclear power?"

He replied "I still support nuclear power, but I want to take it easy."

:wtf:

;-)

there are redundant systems, but there is still things that just overwhelm it all, and the radiation copntamination lasts a long time and spreads readily...is it really all that cheap and safe if you factor in all the waste storage costs and accident potential?


mark

to devote university resources to educating such morons.

Such asinine fools deserve to be held in nothing but total contempt.

A so-called (self-proclaimed?) "expert on nuclear safety" admits there are "surprises" with the garbage he's chosen to wallow in throughout his professional career. "Surprises" of a catastrophic nature, "surprises" that no one can foresee, "surprises" that can leave black scars on the land that will last eons -- and yet, his only solution is to "take it easy."

Of course it is. The schmuck's job depends on everyone continuing to believe that the garbage he wallows in somehow has value.

Anyone who holds fools such as this in anything less than total contempt is only rolling turds in powdered sugar.

Cheers!

dumbass statements like, "No one in the world would have expected this" in regard to Fukushima. It is so far beyond reason, logic and common sense to offer that in a country that invented the word Tsunami that any engineer, building contractor or architect would be in any way surprised that an earthquake generated tsunami would devestate buildings and structures located within feet of the ocean's edge.

This story is about MONEY! It is about the cutting of corners for PROFIT! This Reisch fella is blowing smoke up everyone's ass when offers that this was a "surprise".

and some folks got fukiammad but good
