@chicafob93 WOW! Godzilla doesn't exist? I'm crushed, who or what can save them now? Maybe the NRC, the Tax Payers? Maybe the corporations that made 20 million dollars a day from those reactors will help out? After all? Plutonium Reactors have been obsolete for the last twenty years and they spent not one dime to upgrade. I work in a nuclear power plant hero and I know these poor folks are fucked. The area is over 1000 Rem now and there are six reactors they can't keep cool. Serious? You Bet!
