Nah man i'd rather use solar and just use less electricity. It aint worth it Reply 5 Larry Phischman Larry Phischman2 years ago Nuclear power is perfectly safe as long as you don't do anything profoundly stupid. Reply 34 View all 124 replies Tod Karlson Tod Karlson6 days ago +firefox5926 I prefer Thermal Flux reactors because that's what I'm used to and I think it is better to have the added layer of safety provided by a reactor being designed not to be critical on prompt neutrons alone. I think Lead Fast Reactors (LFRs) would be a harder sell to the public than MSRs like LFTR, because EVERYONE knows lead is toxic & radioactive lead would send the environmental wackos through the roof. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-cooled_fast_reactor Read more Reply Bruce Miller Bruce Miller1 year ago lol back ups of back ups except when idiots turn them off Reply 31 View all 9 replies Saucy man Get the oil Saucy man Get the oil8 months ago +Oilsmoke Jones mkay Reply Bloodmoon Bloodmoon7 months ago Well, they were probably misinformed by their instruments, as always: it's very easy to call them idiots in hindsight. The reason that they turned it off was probably because they feared that it was already hot enough for the Zirconium container to react with water, producing an explosive buildup of Hydrogen gas. So the conundrum was probably to either cool it with water, or cut off the potential source of explosive hydrogen, and basic human psychology tells us that they would have feared the explosion more, so it would have seemed the appropriate choice.

Three Mile Island was not co-producing weapons-grade plutonium. 2. There was no chance/risk of such a meltdown to develop into a nuclear explosion. 3. The containment showed it could stand up to the requirements. 4. There was no harm to people from radiation. 5. The economic loos were very limited COMPARED TO what mankind lost through anti-nuclear and subsequent extra greenhouse gasses. If the climate collapses, we can blame Greenpeace and other scaremongers.

I know that this is BS because I have a few good friends who know Iraq War cavalrymen who drove M1 Abrams tanks and are just fine and whose children do not have birth defects. If you want to demonize radiation (which IS harmful) you must compare deaths and birth defect incidences from radiation to deaths and birth defect incidences from chemical or biological agents Read more Reply spacecadet35 spacecadet352 years ago At 3.48 the falsehoods begin. I think I may watch a real documentary instead of this anti-nuclear propaganda piece. Reply 21 View all 40 replies Otto Otto1 year ago troll or just stupid? Reply Otto Otto1 year ago troll or just stupid? Reply DisappearingBoy DisappearingBoy2 years ago Definitely gotta respect Carter for going there. Reply 20 View all 14 replies Eddie Hayes Eddie Hayes1 year ago +Steven Van Caenegem YT never sent your question and now I just ran across it.Anyway I will answer it.If any part of Three Mile Island detected a high level of radiation on the Geiger counters that the men used that worked there then The Secret Service would prevent President Carter from going.President Carter was a nuclear trained submarine officer.If you like to read some really great books then President Carter is the man for you.He at last count had 32 books that were wrote by him! No ghost writers.These books are like 300 to 600 pages long and I read one at my local library,took me all week every day they opened.It seems like I can concentrate better at the library ( plus my home central air conditioning took the entire week to fix ) I was going to give you the name of the book but when you look at all of the book covers its hard to figure out which one is correct.Anyway you want the one where he is a young US Navy Nuclear Submarine Officer.He tells of how just him and his crew were able to dismantle the nuclear engine,piece by piece,avoid the major radiation ( Quite a job because one false move would mean your life).Great Read,you would love it.Some people make fun of the way he talks but he is a truly gifted man.If you can't find his book about his Navy career then just in case I will continue and see if I have better luck.Get back to me and maybe I will have found it.

I need large type or reading stops being fun. Reply 1 Thorkil Soe Thorkil Soe1 year ago Every year more than 2,000 people have died in the coal mines and an unknown number from air pollution. Now let us add up the numbers from 1979 and compare to what we speak so much about. Unless you can die from fear, nuclear is more safe than any other way of creating power. Reply 16 View all 29 replies Silas Kuemmerle Silas Kuemmerle3 weeks ago Lignite Coal is the most common type of Coal that is mined. It is high in VOCs, which are known to cause birth defects an example of this is the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam Reply Silas Kuemmerle Silas Kuemmerle3 weeks ago also VOCs can cause death or cancer Reply xKuukkelix xKuukkelix1 year ago lol three mile island is only 2,3 miles long.

Soviet carelessness was of course the major cause, but regardless, we haven't seen a disaster that bad since what happened at Fukushima.

Well yea but you idiots turned the damn safety backups off lol. Dumbass Reply 13 remy theroute remy theroute3 months ago Man will destroy the earth.Some kind of way. Reply 9 Robert Stoker Robert Stoker1 year ago I like how nuclear power is portrayed as the bad guy... when in fact its not that nuclear power is bad its the human error and the lack of knowledgeable information that is being overlooked here.. Every single nuclear disaster can be linked to human error.... remove the human aspect and let the computer do its job and this wont be a problem anymore. remove that laziness and the Cutting corners and this wont happen. Whats the old saying good works not cheap and cheap works not good. Read more Reply 10 View all 4 replies Josh Sheets Josh Sheets11 months ago So what? Humans may cause error but because humans are too stupid we cannot be trusted with nuclear energy Reply 2 Peppertree133 T Peppertree133 T3 months ago Robert Stoker maybe. But who designs the computers? Reply embran embran10 months ago Nuclear power is like airplanes. It's statistically the safest but everyone one their pants on the prospect of disaster. Reply 8 J. Hanna J. Hanna1 year ago And this just shows the safety this building. An incident occurred, and the bio-containment vessel of the reactor did it's job. The people around TMI were on average exposed to the amount of radiation a person would receive from eating 800 banana's or flying from New York to Los Angles and back again or 1/5 a mammogram or 8 normal days of radiation exposure just living you're life. Or 1/8000th the smallest yearly dose over 1 year for 10 years that has ever been linked to cancer. Read more Reply 8 Thorkil Soe Thorkil Soe1 year ago +J. Hanna Finally some relevant facts Reply 1 pretty bullet pretty bullet2 years ago I respect President Carter for going to 3 mile island when he didn't have to. I wonder how many former presidents would of took that chance. Reply 8 View all 7 replies Tod Karlson Tod Karlson1 year ago +Eddie Hayes So, your definition of "childish remarks" is anything that someone says that you disagree with? President Carter needed to do more than make a short speech telling people to go home. He needed to EXPLAIN the things I said before in DETAIL. If he explained it properly, we wouldn't have the situation we have where there still have been no new reactors built in the United States since 1986. Read more Reply Tod Karlson Tod Karlson1 year ago +Eddie Hayes That was one speech. You cannot educate the public with one 47 minute speech, especially since at the time we still didn't have all the facts about what exactly happened, and any sort of cause analysis. If that 47 minute speech was enough, then we would have had nuclear reactors licensed, built and brought online since 1986. Read more Reply Tammy C. Tammy C.4 months ago (edited) Has anybody ever thought that maybe a nuclear plant needs communication systems that are as solid as the concrete containment buildings? In fukishima, they begged for water, and got sent bottles of drinking water. Reply 9 Jade Jade6 months ago Where they show the clip from the film china syndrome when the guy says it could render an area the size of Pennsylvania uninhabitable at 25 mins. released 12 days earlier, now that is spooky.
