"The only really feasible situation is a natural disaster that causes too much damage to a specific plant or a few plants in a specific region like Fukushima in Japan. Or unsafe operation like Chernobyl. They're simply not the ticking time bombs you're implying." Quote hobohunter
Hello; We have three examples of such disasters if you add Three Mile Island. Fukushima being the one more puzzling. Built in a region with lots of tectonic activity (Ring of Fire Area) with a history of earthquakes and tidal waves. The engineers put the back up generators in the flood zone.
Can an engineer predict and plan for all such issues? No some natural events can take place which no one plans for. But these things do happen and I think such is the answer when people are against the use of these power plants.
Sure everything you can think of can be planned for, but we do not think of all possible things.
