| #12 Notes to self: 1. Make sure next reactor is designed for a 9.3 earthquake. Ah hell, make it 9.4. That will NEVER happen. 2. Find another place for the damned used rods. 3. Build on higher ground. 4. Oh. and BIG water towers. BIG. BIG. And manual valves. |

| #7 #5 Must admit, the "news" tv has done an amazing job of not teaching nuclear energy.. The MSM is left-wing. The left-wing tends to be very anti-nuke. I hate to say it but Al Jiz just did a better job of explaining the situation than our MSM. Personally, I think we should take lessons learned from Fukushima and incorporate them into our nuclear power plant design process and push ahead --taking note of what was said here re waste. |

| #5 Must admit, the "news" tv has done an amazing job of not teaching nuclear energy...almost like they want just pictures of explosions and a podium to talk about shutting down US production. All firearms are murder weapons. All cars are accidents waiting to happen. The moon and cheeseburgers cause earthquakes. 2012. Boogy boogity boo! All we ask is your heart on a Mayan Altar, let us use obsidian, the dried blood of the earth, and here smoke on this and you will have no fear knowing your breakfast cereal murders polar bear cubs. |

| #4 All nuclear bombs are made of atoms. Nuclear reactors are made of atoms. Therefore, all reactors are nuclear bombs. QED, biotches! |

| #2 THAT SAID: Using Japan's example ... After looking at the details of 21 years of spent fuel rods still being in holding tanks within the main reactor bldgs and Reactor #4's fire due to spent fuel rods boiling water into H and O ... with cesium added... I make this plea.. Please lobby Harry Reid and Nevada to OPEN the NUKE WASTE Depository so 60 years worth of spent rods sitting in danger next to US reactors can be put some place safe. No more NAMBI from REID!! |

| #1 Huh. What a fucking stupid thing to say. Ask the Iranians if a reactor is a nuclear bomb. I have to wonder if this guy is worth listening to on weather matters, or if his ignorance is a product of laser-like focus on the subject of his work. A lot of PhDs are spectacularly uneducated outside of the narrow confines of their exact area of study. |
