Despite the fact that there are occasional cases of plants going under a meltdown, frankly, given that the worst case scenario in my lifetime (Fukushima) involved a plant being hit with a 15-meter Tsunami and the fourth-largest earthquake in recorded history simultaneously, and ended up with only a single death due to radiation (though there were 2 from the impacts and one from a heart attack) with only a small radius of thfe area needing to be evacuated, it looks like it’s actually a safe bet. Imagine if the builders of the plant had the foresight to actually make sure they could properly weather such events!
Sounds great.
We'll store the waste next door to you.....
Everybody's happy...
