And earlier today a CNN anchor lady couldn't even say caesium properly. CNN is hiring ****tier and ****tier journalists by the day.

Not to mention the meteorologist they have, they are using him as a plate tectonics and now a nuclear expert, lol

It's probably just like 'well this is the only guy that knows anything about science in the building, let's ask him'

So TW Smart Guys - this possible reactor core deal... somebody posted earlier that it was a not a big deal... is it?

well... people are evacuated...ish... there are many failsafes to contain radiation if it melts down... all that said it's still not a comfortable situation.

It's a big deal. 2 reactors have partially melted down. They have made a last ditch effort and poured sea water in one of them which will probably render that reactor useless. The other one is in the middle of melting down right now.

As long as they don't get totally out of control and completely melt down, or cause an explosion then it should be contained.

One good thing is that the fuel is in cooldown mode as it decays.

Whoever said it wasn't a big deal is pretty ****ing retarded.

Even if you did put it on the beach like they did, why not raise the backup generators for cooling well above a tsunami's reach? I know one plant in Cali is exactly the same way, you see it driving between San Diego and LA, so if Cali ever has a major tsunami the same situation is likely to arise.
Japan needs you Captain Hindsight!

You do have to wonder of the wisdom of putting 6 nuclear reactors on a tsunami beach in one of the most active areas on the face of the Earth.
Makes about as much sense as building a reactor right on the coast of a earthquake prone area.

The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) is a nuclear power plant located on the Pacific coast of California.

[Golbez-RG-] 03-12-2011 22:49
Heh yea, I've driven by that one and I remember saying what a ****ing retarded place for a nuke plant. :)

Flyersfan 03-12-2011 22:50
it uses seawater for cooling

and there are no faults off the coast there big enough to create a tsunami

the pacific plate is far inland from there - the san andreas fault

no location is retarded with enough concrete

those guys just needed more concrete

Floods in California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Granted it was on the north coast of Cali, but they can still rock the whole coast thousands of miles away.

This reactor doesn't have a concrete containment building, in fact most BWRs dont use concrete.

Of course it's a big deal, but it has been blown completely out of proportion by the media who thrive on creating terror stories that invoke fear.

I am not even slightly afraid for my safety because of the power plant.

The hourly tremors are much more convincing...

an earthquake in alaska would create a 1 foot tsunami in southern california at best

[Golbez-RG-] 03-12-2011 23:00
A 1 foot wave causing 14 deaths and an economic loss of $14 million in 1964 dollars? The earthquake that just happened in Japan created extensive damage to Crescent city.

I hope thats a troll lol

the real threat would be a hurricane

they form every year off the coast of baja and in perfect conditions a cat 2 or 3 could make it to san diego

a tropical storm made it to long beach last century

Flyersfan 03-12-2011 23:04
a 1 foot tsunami does **** to a random sandy beach on the coast

it did damage to harbors
