i get it so basicly you create a huge radioactive bomb and then you use it to boil water to turn a generator that makes electricity! FUCKING GENEOUS ISNT IT

DUMB MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ryanshaunkelly]

the damage set in motion is beyond comprehension

"Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."

@ big dicksy i dont need an engineers degree to know this is a stupid as fuck idea with a potential catastrophic disaster.. they only need to make very large magnifying glasses and reflect that over water to boil it.. go back to your planes

@OddOrangeBox picky cunt arnt ya

@smiles1969able Why don't you attend school to become an engineer and come up with something better instead of playing arm chair energy specialist.

@smiles1969able I find it ironic that you're calling people "DUMB MOTHER FUCKERS" when you can't even spell genius

Is this getting us all ready or what. Kida already happened, didn't it? Watch you kids, husband, wife and loved one come down with cancer. Make everyday count.

@thebigl032 It is ,but look at Fukushima. it's pretty much abandon. It has been left to melt down just like the documentary.Radiation levels will climb untill it is no longer safe to even get close. Once the fuel has melted down, there is no stopping iy, we don't have the tecnollagy.You don't really think they can dig under the reactor and get the melted fuel out do you. The truth is, we can't stop it now even if we wanted to. But they don't want you to know that.

@TximTiftang Well, pay attention to this problem. You are about to see first hand, the numbers of cancer are about to shoot through the roof.I think it was something like 200% increase per reactor. 6 reactors x 200=1200 % increase in cancer. look how many people have cancer now, now x that by 1200 %. Your about to see a drastic decrease in population. All from stupidity. Thats supposed to be cheap power, don't for a second,believe nuclear power is cheap. we pay with our lives.

@RACINGWILDONE they really need to start turning all these plants off and deal with that problem first, then look at sun power from large magnifying lenses which will give the same effect to boil water if thats the way they want to go.. unfortuantly the damage is already done it cant get any better only worse, what happens if usa gets a massive quake or tsunami just like japan did? 75 nuclear power plants up in smoke now thats scary shit...

@rcpratt88 its actually spot on !

@AluminumStudios Hey Will, me again, The name of the documentary is National Geographic, "Aftermath: Population Zero" . I know you "Will" enjoy it. HA ha. Sorry, i'm tired, not much left in me. take care and stay safe my friend.
