How many of you are aware of the major problems at nuclear waste facilities world-wide? Did you know that spent fuel rods are kept "on site" in perpetuity since there are no places to store this waste? This is part of the problem that was exascerbated by the earthquake and tsunami at the Fukushima-Daiishi plant in Japan and is capable of occurring at the nuclear facility in San Diego. Almost 1/2 of our nuclear facilities lie on fault lines! Comments?
That sounds a very scary scenario.
ReplyDeleteHow about the earthquake in Virginia? Very near a nuclear facility that was shut down overnight...scary scenarios indeed!
