Comments by "N Velsen" (@nvelsen1975) on "The Fukushima Robots" video.

Sources for these claims are direly, direly needed. That plant ate not one but two disasters 'top 10 of all time' category consecutively and very little happened despite human error compounding it. Which means it's quite safe. As you heard in this video a meltdown didn't actually do anything because the reactor is built on a containment vessel. They could pretty go "Oh well, it was fun while it lasted", close the door on that particular reactor and leave. I mean do we clean up after other sources of power? We don't. We don't pick up all the burned coal and put it back inside the mines. Nuclear power leaving a tiny footprint of spent reactors is still the cleanest and safest form of power on a geographical scale.

@denysvlasenko4952 There is no need to answer your question, since your question is based on a lie. The original zone was 2600 km² and has in effect been shrinking since then. But to answer your question anyway, hydro power has done that and way more than that.

Yeah, with all the huge earthquakes and tsunamis that happen in France every year..... 😆

@denysvlasenko4952 Good point. Another set of extremely rare circumstances and yet no accident happened at all.

@denysvlasenko4952 Oh, so if the facts don't favour the anti-nuclear luddites, the facts are wrong and should be ignored. No, just no. That's not how things work.

@denysvlasenko4952 Uhm, bud, you're the one argueing "This is a disaster" when nothing happened and "This is unsafe" about the safest form of energy generations. You're not just denying facts, you're acting like a luddite: 'progress bad because new'
