    fantastical technology

    Ah, the “fantastical technology” of the 1950s.

    It’s only prohibitively expensive the way that we’re currently doing it in the US, there are better ways.

      Not in France, Great Britain or Germany either. Or Poland or Spain. To my knowledge not in Japan either.

      Probably you are talking about some countey with lax regulations. Which is curious , because proponents of nuclear power always say Chernobyl could not have happened in a country with good regulations (so Japan probably is not included in that list either)

        Fukushima survived an earthquake and then a tsunami before partly going prompt critical. The meltdown was incredibly controlled compared to Chernobyl.

          That…is remarkable brain acrobatics to paint Fukushima somehow in a good light. Tell that shit to yourself. The lucky thing that happened to them was the wind blowing seaside, and not towards Tokyo, else they’d have to evacuate a 30 million inhabitant metropolis. That’s not an achievement of well controlled technology.
