The tanks holding contaminated water at Fukushima

jeudi 5 septembre 2013 à 14:00

The tanks holding contaminated water at Fukushima were built in a hurry, with quality control set aside.

Maybe the haste was necessary at the time — but, if so, they should have built more solid replacement tanks once the water was initially contained.

Even higher radiation levels have been found near the tanks.

It is impossible to keep the cost of nuclear power down, given all the risks.

It is an exaggeration to describe a nuclear reactor as a "slow motion detonation", like describing your metabolism as a "slow motion fire". But that doesn't invalidate the conclusions.
