The nuclear emergency in Japan is raising questions about the safety older nuclear reactors in the U.S. with same design as at Fukushima. John Blackstone reports on the dangers of the 23 reactors still operational in America.
@RShomiexyz1 its already here just so you know, we have rain water that is showing 150X the normal level, we are showing that vegetation exposed to this is absorbing the radiation, our background air level is 5 times normal not as much of a risk but still a noted increase, and is still hitting Washington state.
Solution, triple and quadruple the back up power electrical systems. With out cooling water, IT'S A DISASTER. With out pumps, the electricity to run them, it will melt down. Lets add another layer of redundancy.
The GE engineer is feeling a little vindicated. He did the right thing, should be proud. It takes guts to do what he did. His worst nightmare may have not been realized in the 35 yrs, but as they were designed in the 70's, I'm sure they were much more vulnerable with out the mods.
@RShomiexyz1 I hope you are right-but Chernoble it's estimated killed 1 million over 10 years in increased cancer-I was in Germany then-nearly all European cows produced radioactive milk-it always gets into our food, it is already showing up in Japanese foods.
It really is NO joke you morons-very high probability that California and entire West Coast of the US is already DYING-If Japan can't contain the reactions and the cores melt=constant radiation in the Jet Stream to West Coast for 500,000 yrs=half life of uranium NP237. Nobody on the US West Coast will survive a YEAR of uncontained radiation delivered via the Jet stream, it could be equal to 2500 chest x-rays per hour continuously throughout the year..

@libertydogfight the radiation will dissipate before it hits the west coast, it won't affect us
