An animation, trying to make nuclear power plants look good
HA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Fun fact, Nuclear power plants only power 14% of the world, now think about it, they power so little of the world, yet are pretty much the single most disastrous thing you could possibly imagine if gotten out of control
ex: Fukashima, Chernobyl
oh, and the government wants to make all of our power come from power plants coming up soon btw
That's only because people think that nuclear reactors are ticking time bombs that will go off if you so much as sneeze at them.
Modern reactors are a hell of a lot safer then early ones. Which weren't built too well and the operators didn't pay attention to safety rules and such.
Fukushima's reactors had known faults that the designers and possibly the government knew about, but they didn't do anything about them. And then there's the fact it got hit by a tsunami.
As for Chernobyl they were doing a test to see if they could develop a way to "jump start" the reactor (Which really shouldn't of been approved due to safety reasons, And ended up starting in the middle of a change of shift) The operators where also conducting the test half-heartily and had disabled nearly all the safety system for it. So naturally due to corner-cutting, Poor design, The lack of people informed about the test, and the complete lack of engaged safety systems the whole thing went bad.
