New Nuclear Plants Started - Maybe

Article

Yeah! Two new plants started! ---maybe--- More stuff to write about! How will they handle the seismic? Do they just plunk down the standard design without thinking about local geology? Will they go with the standard designs or try to squeeze in something new? How will they make it cheaper than it should be? Do they now have room on the site for all the nuclear waste? Will they go to the French for concrete advice?

How will they handle the seismic? By ignoring the seismic.

Do they just plunk down the standard design without thinking about local geology? Yep.

Will they go with the standard designs or try to squeeze in something new? Only if that something new is cheaper.

How will they make it cheaper than it should be? See above.

Do they now have room on the site for all the nuclear waste? What are you talking about, nuclear plants don't create waste, they are as green as a field of Kentucky bluegrass in summer.

Will they go to the French for concrete advice? I think it is called "Freedomcrete."

Yeah! You answered my questions! When they actually turn the first clod (not the human variety!), then I'll have some more. :)

I look forward to it. I only wish those plant(s) were going to be located near me. Electric heat in Maine in winter is no fun.
