all of those introduce risk and oppurtunities for idiots to fuck up

in part because of the constant need to run inspections

again

a need that wouldn't exist if not for regulation

we're talking mainly about a total meltdown

most regulations are stupid

but then without rules, most companies will cut corners

Bureaucrats are the worst

I think we will defo get to bottom of it via discord chat

They r parasites

potential of a total meltdown is a function of reactor design

Oh yeah all of these nuclear scientists in discord will figure it out

😉

at present, reactors aren't desgined to be 'fail-safe'

they 'fail-catasprophicaly'

@ManAnimal how many disasters since they started building them versus how many are running perfectly fine?

only 4 disasters to date

all of which were predictable

do you realize how many flights happen successfully every single day, but people are terrified to fly because of the handful of plane incidents every year.

3/4 were extremely old

It's the same situation man

'fail-safe' means i can loose power or all the people in the control room and plant and the reactor will settle by itself without power, diesel or anything else into a docile state

Lmao what isn’t predictable

LMAO

All it requires to prevent a nuclear meltdown is regular old maintenance and making sure people are paying attention

Nuclear scientists are always the brightest.. read the story of the Third USA nuke.. to see geniuses killing them selves with a live core.

Same as literally anything else

that is an invalid criteria

@Canadalake the climate <:cz_smirkthonk:350488688771334154>

@ManAnimal why can't you have the control rods require power to maintain themselves in the un-inserted state?

🤡

'how many accidents HAVE happend' is not a valid way to evaluate experience

Text "chat" is prob best form of communication to make problems exponentially more intangible

and if power cuts out

they insert automatically

U think people evaluate shit on a valid basis?

cause the lack of failure is a function of a million different factors

well given enough time, all accidents will happen ?

because maintaining power 1) has a set of pre-requistites and 2) isn't enough

power + control systems
