@oralloy,
Quote: The environmental movement is the primary source of opposition to nuclear reactors in America
I dont doubt it at all . So what?. You against BestAavailableTechnology? The more monitoring the better I say. Look at Fukushima Daiichi. How are they to justify that plume of all sorts of heavy rad metals as well as Tritium in the ocean? They use an attitude of reliance on authority over there.Then when they **** up, somebody "apologizes deeply", what a joke.
We would never have allowed the reactor to be located in such a seismic zone in the first place.
Also, lets not kid ourselves, we really dont know everything about NaFRs yet. EPRI is still working on several options half of which have to do with ops safety .Remember Na and H2O are not friendly and there have been several close calls in India over molten salt and pretty good explosions
