It's up to the children. That's just fking Impossible. No seriously, Impossibly stupid.

@SniperViper1000 Well You better off Habitat destroyed or Radioactive destroyed, Nuclear power same thing = Mining Uranium. The Rotators needs to be design to catch fishes at the same time instead of just spinning and killing the fishes. Just to allow the fishes cross. It's time for the hydro boys to redesign.

to put it simply the energy conglomerates have grown int tyrannical narcissistic megalomania and are now acting as such

The test for nuclear fusion realisation on Tokamak's installations and with LASER cannot bring anything new for the energetics' future. I bind the thermonuclear controlled reactor schedule by the Sun model , by the reactive electromagnetic motor schedule from Palenque stone's tombe. You see the my project for thermonuclear controlled reactor.

My planetary brethren and you physicists, engineers and men of science let's awaken at reality, at knowledge, at wisdom and let's pass at the construction the thermonuclear controlled reactors, reactors with spherical chamber after Sun model; which can not be dangerous, not even for those which serve these installations.

@SniperViper1000 no. 1) Throwing a red herring is changing the topic in the middle of the discussion. The topic is Nuclear power is/is not the answer. It has nothing to do with alternative energy or fossil fuels. 2) If there is something that I say that you feel needs to be challenged, just ask me to back it up. Just be specific.

@milofonbil

1. I was COMPLETELY on topic.

&

2. I can't stick to anything that wasn't provided to me. There was no facts displayed. Only bullshit.

[milofonbil]

@SniperViper1000 What you are doing here is throwing a red-herring into the debate. ... People being relocated due to hydro dams, people losing their jobs due to solar and wind, people dying of coal fumes. Why don't you stay on topic and stick to the facts.

[milofonbil]

@SniperViper1000 Fair enough.

So if the containment did not rupture, then the h2 came from the spent fuel rods which are not being cooled due to LOC. Do you think that none of the highly radio-active spent fuel rods have been compromised?

We have 400 mSv/h recorded outside of the secondary containment building of the Unit 3 reactor at Fukushima. Do you still think that the inner containment has not been compromised?

To me it indicates that it has / a meltdown has definitely occurred.

@SniperViper1000 The explosions were not due to the earthquake or the tsunami directly. The explosions were due to hydrogen gas. Where did it come from? It came from Zirconium cladding from the fuel rods. Why? because of loss of coolant. When zirconium gets above 2200 degrees, it absorbs an oxygen from the cooling water, leaving h2. When h2 catches fire, it blows up. Yes, much like a natural gas heater. Now the fuel rods are in two places - in the containment and in the spent fuel pond
