When I misuse a coal plant, it breaks down and potentially pollutes the vicinity. When I misuse a photovoltaic plant, it might get damaged. If I misuse a nuclear plant, an area becomes uninhabitable for centuries.

But accidents are not the main concern, when there are currently nuclear power plants being held hostage in an ongoing war

See you're treating all nuclear plants and operation of those plants as the same. It's not. Just like car designs are not the same as they were in 1950, nuclear plant designs are not the same as they were in the 1950s.

You know Chernobyl was because they threw the operating procedure out the window right? But you want to act as if that's just the normal operating procedure. And that it could just happen just because, just from normal operating or something. It's insane.

So you think the US, UK, France, Germany, etc etc etc nuclear plants will be taken hostage by Russians? See you're on your fear campaign once again. Beee aaafffrraaaaiiiiddd!1!11!! That's all it is.

*Have to correct "misuse coal". It's not misuse, it's use. Using coal guarantees polluting both locally and the entire planet.

I mean, can you tell for sure that there will not be any war in France or Germany in the next 70 years? I don't think it's likely, and I'm clearly of the opinions that we should apply whatever carbon reduction that is most carbon effective, nuclear included, given the current climate emergency, but considering a nuclear power plant could be targeted by an army or terror group is not that far-fetched.

Is everyone afraid yet? Better keep going even though Russia just humiliated themselves by being held off by one of the poorest countries in Europe. Always be aaaffrraaaiiiddd.

Ok, I'm with you on most of your points but you are mistaken in thinking Ukraine is a poor country. They are literally the bread basket of eastern Europe. That's one of the biggest reasons Putin is so intent on taking it.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

Bread basket does not mean rich. Look at the gdp numbers per capita, they are shockingly poor.

Let me throw in my two cents.

We have people in the U.S. who shoot up schools. We have people who stormed the capitol when their great orange godking failed to be made King President.

I, for one, am afraid of what the kind of person who instigates an insurrection could do with a target like a nuclear power plant.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

With the safety features built into all nuclear plants, it would have to be a crazed nuclear engineer and the place would have to be abandoned and yet still somehow functioning. This is real life, not the Simpsons.

TIL security does not exist. Be afraid!!11!!!! JFC.
