It's not even close to being that simple.
Read the link I just posted. |
Thanks, great info... |

I don't blame them. What company would want to be associated with an asshat like this guy? Seriously, that guy needs to have his head ing examined. |

great posts stubert!
reading the detailed one now, explaining the actual reactor, really interesting-
also,
| quote: | | I will try to summarize the main facts. The earthquake that hit Japan was 7 times more powerful than the worst earthquake the nuclear power plant was built for (the Richter scale works logarithmically; the difference between the 8.2 that the plants were built for and the 8.9 that happened is 7 times, not 0.7). So the first hooray for Japanese engineering, everything held up. |
imagine if it was built by the americans :p |

| The radioactivity has reached Tokyo. People are now fleeing in panic. |

Technically they did sorta, well it was a joint effort. The reactor design itself is from General Electric. :p
The US has a pretty good track record with their nuclear reactors. A more correct statement would be what if the Russians had built it, seeing they have had by far the worst nuclear disaster on record.
God forbid the Chinese or the Iranians or North Koreans ever have to deal with unforeseen circumstances at their plants... China I assume would be pretty ok, but ... still... Scary in countries that aren't really that open about their engineering practices on things such as these. |

ha yeah, i actually did think they may have had a hand in it: There's very little in modern japan that the US hasn't been involved in, BUT its hard to miss an opportunity to make generalised, degrading statements about the US :p
yeah its hard to know... I'm not realy sure china would be fine... I can see them cutting corners, they're not really 'there yet', like japan, USA etc, and don't they have a really large number of facilities?
mass producing nuclear sites doesn't sound great... I don't know heaps about China's efforts though, so correct me if i'm wrong :) |
