Nuclear Power - Tumblr Posts
This is revolutionary. Never again will we have a Chernobyl disaster or a Fukushima tragedy where old people literally sacrifice their remaining life in order to take care of the reactor. Every single one needs to adapt to this immediately

Might i add that chernobyl was using an outdated system, with fewer safety precautions, and they were pushing the reactor hard, and they tried to cover it up first, not clean it up and alert people, all of which made things worse.
Also if nuclear waste is a consideration, the amount of global nuclear waste is 1% of the amount of annual coal waste produced by South Africa alone. And nuclear waste is stored in containers on site, whereas coal waste is...kinda all over. And from what I know, coal waste is more radioactive than nuclear waste, but I need to fact check that.
If we could get molten salt reactors going, though!! Pretty small, can be made very very safe with lots of failsafe containment and everything, underground which protects against tampering, refueling only happens every ~30 years as opposed to 1.5-2 years, and they operate at lower temperatures which also makes them safer.
