give me my reactor back biiiitch

so for the us nuclear is 100% safe nationaly since canada is basicaly a part of the usa

@ShardS there are also massive uranium deposits in Australia

well the big energy producer for the US is natural gas now

Interesting how all of the Uranium is in former British dominions

yeah, nuclear gets gutted every time a dem/labour government is in place

the real reason us/uk nuclear is about 20 years behind france and japan.

i dnt understand why that is... is it they are just afraid of a malfunction?

Pretty much yeah

No one wants that

Nuclear in Japan is dead @ShardS

its not really that hard to shut them down

All the reactors have been shutdown

even though its less likely, and less dangerous than most other types of malfunction

ALL.

well, japan shot itself in the foot then

Japan has regressed to fossil fuels

too much public pressure?

the two times they have malfunctioned it was on much older reactors

Yep @Crafty

basicaly people are stupid

@UnScottable this does a good job of going over the reasons for nuclear fear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI6IzPCmIW8

these days they are actually pretty reliable

some japs are outright superstitious about nuclear

well tbf Fukushima was a bit of a mess

A reason why they shouldn't vote 😉 @ShardS

fukushima was old

and on a coastline

Well the problem with Japan is, they're always going to have issues like that due to their geography

Yeah i know by i cant blame them for being nervous about it

chernobel was old, and managed by soviet russia

They're on the boundry of 4 tectonic plates

They will always have massive earthquakes, storms, etc.

So nuclear isn't really a good idea for them

From a safety POV

it actualy is

oi you got a loicense to be worried?

TL:DR rich Californians didn't want poor people ruining the local area so they project feared them.

Also, every bit of lost land is crippling to the Japs

Since they don't have much usable land to start with

Chernobyl was a management fuckup coupled with reactor design.
