re: #550 jcm

Can you say China Syndrome? Seriously.

I’ve talked to watermelon who say the risk of melt down is to great.

Okay, the new generation of reactors CAN NOT MELT DOWN.

The design of the water modulated reactors was such they default to a critical state and the reaction would runaway and melt down.

The new reactors are held in a critical state, when things go wrong they default to non-critical, it’s the physics of the design.

Oh, so they can only melt down when they are operating properly, but they won’t? Oh good, I feel better now.
