Remember the Fukushima nuclear disaster and the causes for it?
Sure, the fools put a nuclear reactor in a location susceptible to both earthquakes and tsunamis...and then they forgot to provide for cooling the core to prevent meltdown in case they had to 'scram' the reaction. (A nuclear reactor ordinarily has a rather large population of 'radioactive daughter elements' that continue to decay and emit heat for hours and days after the neutron-absorbing control rods are put back into place. This continued heat production has the ability, for a few hours, to melt down the core unless cooling water continues to flow. In an emergency like Fukushima, they needed to provide for such continued water flow for hours, lest the core melt down. They didn't. It did.) Jim Bell
