Comment on Windscale Piles: Cockcroft's Follies avoided nuclear disasterparent

Comments

yeah, the engineers didn't push for the right solution. That would have been apparent had, say, you read the quote. That I put in the comment. So you didn't even have to read the article.

as for your fear-spreading propaganda, in the real world, we've had a series of nuclear accidents that mostly haven't been much worse because of luck. Idiots think luck is a viable safety strategy. The rest of us -- post 3 mile island, post japan -- think the safety record is, charitably, checkered.
