Nuclear Radiation as a rational energy source for boiling water aside,
it's a 'real estate problem'

Location Location Location!

Not that the design engineering is all that... Recently, within the last
week or so in California a skin diver accidentally got into the cooling
intake system for a nuclear power plant. I'd guess they can't really put
screens on the inlets as trash would quickly clog it but you'd think,
with all the millions of dollars spent on designing these things they
would have come up with some way of keeping debris, and errant divers, out.

It's been discussed, and has been hanging fire since 2010... So I'd
guess keeping a tsunami from swamping a reactor after a major earthquake
isn't water cooler talk at GE.
