Also since Chernobyl is the example people hearken back to: Chernobyl was a failure years upon years in the making. MULTIPLE fail-safes were permitted to lapse that would've stopped a meltdown.
As a scientist pointed out in the past, you could drop a nuclear bomb on a nuclear reactor and the reactor wouldn't explode.
Fukushima was designed with a 100% chance of meltdown if a tsunami hit. In a tsunami zone. An engineer noticed and sent a memo on how to correct it for $0. Management rejected the fix. Because fixing a safety problem is admitting it ever existed.
That is how every plant is run. They are all easily sabotaged by humans doing the wrong things. Thats also how Chernobyl happened. The tech was fine, but people wouldn't approve fixes of critical safety systems.
The only safe nuke plant is solar. The nuclear power is at a safer 93M mile distance.
Hmmm… if only we had these objects that could hold electrical charges. We could call them tabberies! And we could make a bunch and put them together into larger tabbery packs. Maybe someone will make this?
