They have to get Pelosi? If Biden is arrested, Pelosi is president
Okay if you say so buddy...
We will have battery backups @busillis we will come up with contingencies in 100s of years of our technological development
grids go down all the time like in Japan, the backup generators to circulate water failed and ruined the coast for a generation
Oh, god no! I take it back!
That’s in my professional area of expertise. EMP is NOT a realistic threat to our nuclear power reactors.
Completely off the grid?
an emp could potentially fry backup power thats absolutely needed for nuclear reactors, just flooding not even major failure cause the Japan meltdowns as i said
As long as there’s not physical damage to the backup generators from say flooding. In an EMP event, is unlikely the power grid would be out an extended period of time.
@kennyb, you just advanced to level 3!
Unsure if Pelosi is involved. Nothing would surprise me anymore though
That is incorrect. Generators are inherently EMP resistant
It's all good the sun never does anything... Only people..
some can withstand it, some have spare transistors and alternators and fuses and wiring on hand, good luck as i said look at japan, u cant say u know it hasnt happened
Japan they have tsunamis, earthquakes, and on a coast, well "prepared" they thought for flooding, its a gamble
Generators are inherently EMP resistant.
The nuclear plants aren't hit with the CME... Residual breakdown of all the systems that rely on electricity.
How do you pump fuel through pipelines with no electricity?
yeah u said that b4 i heard, they are not fail proof
With no electrical supply chain start to break down.
There is no evidence through testing that backup generators would fail in an EMP event.
ive seen them do emp testing on components in newport news for big ships, stuff can fry, they try ti mitigate it yes, just like for flooding
By the department of defense study Pittsburgh CME hit the earth now 80 to 90 % of people in the us would be dead in a month.
The backup generators are not air gapped they could likely be fried...
Generators are inherently EMP resistant. There are other electronics that are much less resistant
its not just the components its the entire infrastructure and ability to keep it online with fuel or power etc etc, its an unknown gamble
@Ghostdog, you just advanced to level 8!
You probably won’t lose the grid in an EMP event.
probably is a funny word if u live next to a nuclear reactor
It is extremely unlikely you would lose the power grid for a period of time long enough to lose cooling in a nuclear power plant.
And even if you did hypothetically, the generators are inherently resistant so you’re perfectly safe.
yeah i get ur point, i agree, its still gamble with lives, or generations of lives, or a few km of no mans land like what happened in Japan
forget emp what if a meteor hits a nuke plant, bye bye
We either figure it out or we are f'd. 40 years ago the first "mobile" phones were the size of large suitcases. Today, we hold immense processing power in our hands. Solar technology was delayed be decades, but it is fast catching up. We'll get there. I just hope it's in time. One thing I'm sure of, CA will lead the way.
thats just 1 minor example of 100
