Japans 4th reactor on verge of collapse

[vdubman]

Don't slate the guy because he has something other than cars to talk about. Just because you don't like what being discussed doesn't make horsesh*t does it?

No, the lack of scientific evidence and a load of bullsh*t being spun out to the gullible who probably don't have bio-sciences degrees is what makes it horsesh*t.  It's the nonsense I don't like and deeply enjoy lampooning.

Oh look and sometimes he's on a conspiracy tv website.

Wow.

Do you do tinfoil hats for us to protect ourselves?

good thing i drive a polo,small but tough

How obnoxious you are to speak like that. You've just judged me personally on a few sentences. You have no idea what I do or why I follow alternative news. Talk to someone who enjoys being spoken to like a peice of sh*t.

There are alternatives in action now. Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, wave, tidal are all alternatives are they not? The problem is money, or to be more precise, profit! Nuclear gives the best bang for it buck thats all.

Solar has potential granted, all the others are marginal if we consume energy at the current rate.

But using funds to further advance the technology could see them become more useable at the expence of some nuclear reactors though couldn't it? You see my point about nuclear being the easiest way to make a good profit though yeah?

Oh trust me, I haven't judged you, but I've picked some gaping holes in the original poster's bullsh*t.

Because my view goes against your views, which appear built on sand you're getting excited.

Calm down and maybe go get a bio-science degree or similar, unless you already have one?

Solar has potential granted, all the others are marginal if we consume energy at the current rate.

and also have moving parts which wear out and need replacing.

There are multiple 5MW solar farms going in on the IOW at the moment, but this is just part of the larger picture - nuclear needs to be a part of that picture to replace some of our massive reliance on gas/coal/oil.

but LOOK something's gone wrong!

The situation in japan has not helped the nuclear case i agree and the precarious state of the majority of ancient reactors in the old soviet union and baltic states also present some 'challenging' problems but western europe and the us have a very good record for safety and investment in nuclear power/decommissioning and re-processing and the new generation of smaller more efficient and cleaner reactors are the only way forward in the short term...in my opinion.

I didn't read any of your views mate nor am I interested because of the way you speak of others with a different point of view to yourself. No time for that kind of patter. And no, I do not have a bio-science degree unfortunately but didn't think you had to have one to merit a valid opinion.

I fully understand why we have nuclear reactors but there nothing new and you have to assume eventually it will be phased out because of the serious dangers that go with them. Radiation posioning is a serious matter which could eventually have an effect on all our lives one way or another.

We bulit the plants in Japan didnt we? 

[Gavv8]

I think they (nuclear reactors) will evolve, i don't think they will be phased out until the human race as a whole changes the way it consumes energy and i think thats a long way off.

[VW BUSH]

I read that wind farms are a major contributor to global warming
Conclusion: The only safe power is the nations jobless on pedal powered generators.

They are based on american designed boiling water reactors (not the most modern design) and built by japanese contractors with some input from british and american consultants, japan should never have been allowed to build reactors period as the whole land mass is unstable and prone to tectonic ruptures but they had no alternative in the post war years in order to re-build the country.
