When the USA Power Grid Dies, 25+ Nuke Plants will eventually go Fukushima when their ON Site Power Fails to power Cooling to Reactors/fuel pools

Nukes are fake. Have a Pepsi. That's nuclear.

Fuel Pools refer to the old, used nuclear fuel rods that are still radioactive, and are usually kept above, or next to the reactors in the same containment buildings.

This is like keeping your can of gas, right next to your generator. If your generator blows up, or catches fire so too does your fuel can, and bye bye. One disaster becomes a huge one.

The Difference is with Nuke accidents, the killing effect from the radiation goes on and on way past thousands of years.

When the power grid dies the Nuclear Reactor won't be able to send itself the power it produces. Do you see the problem with your thread premise?

Fortunately Nuclear Bombs, EMPs, ICBM and Nuclear Power are all hoaxs and do not exist. Radiation is a HOAX.

America the Great Nuclear Wasteland (Dead Zone)

Nuke Doom Pin Request....

25?

There are over 100 nuclear power plants in the U.S. alone.

And yes, they can run on the power they generate, durr.

The problems occur when there is no one manning the plants, for whatever reason, war, economic collapse, pandemic outbreak...

They would all be SCRAMMED before they could meltdown anyway, you'd think. That's all automated.

Here's the problem.



If power is lost to the pumps circulatiing water to the fuel pools, the water boils away, exposes the fuel rods, and then they melt.

Backup power Generators fail, and eventually will run out of fuel, Without resupply, the cooling and operating power to operate each site will have the same flaws that caused the Fukushima Disaster.

People have families, When the Grid goes down, or any other problem that causes people to question the safety of their families, the operation, safety and resupply of Nuke Plants will become compromised.

Major Earthquakes will damage bridges, roads, power lines and other utilities. Do you think the Federal and state Governments will use helicopters to deliver fuel to Each and Every Nuke plant, to keep the generators going? What about maintenance, those big "backup" generators will not run forever without maintenance and part replacements.

And this is why I think the whole concept of an EMP attack is totally stupid. The radiation released throughout the world would be devastating. So why would anyone do that to themselves?

Although i agree that nuclear power and associated waste products are not good Op is missing facts.

Fukushima was a Generation 1 design which had flaws.

These flaws caused the different stages of plant destruction.

The operators were already instructed to move generators to higher ground by failed to do so. This one oversight would have prevented the disaster.

The other problems came from the way the hydrogen built up inside the buildings.

The reality is that any Generation 1 designed reactor complex with known flaws should have been decommissioned before any problems arose

More like 100 plants, and yes... That is what would happen.

Actually NO. All they have to do is run the reactors at 2 percent output and generate their own power on site. They could idle for 1000 years after the grid went down.

We were not told the truth about Fukushima.

All, I'll say that again ALL Nuclear power plants in America are hardened to EMP attacks, they all have built-in backup power generators that are more than powerful enough for the operators to retract the rods to stop all reactions and make them safe to shut down long term. Most of these upgrades where mandatory put in place after the Three Mile Island misshap, EMP hardening happened a few years later when it became apparent that Country's had EMP's as a contingency plan of attacks.

How do I know I was involved with the installation of some of this equipment in two plants,and as far as I know it's an on going upgrade, when new improvements are available they get installed.

Is it fool proof, who knows no one has ever conducted a major EMP test likes needed to know but I think it would have to be total extinction of people for melt downs to happen, or total failure of the equipment mains and backups of which there are more than one.

Like a Nuka-Cola?

Fuku happened due to total destruction of the plants system when that 20+ foot wall of water hit the plant.

It was built in a stupid place that was in danger from day one.

Power Plants can't run on the power they generate. That is why they have electric step-down distribution sites close to the power plant. If those sites go down, due to controller or transformer failure, then the nuclear power plant is virtually dead. No power can be transmitted or fed back to the plant to be utilized...

Yes, lots of nuclear plants are automatically scrammed, still the pools have to be cooled and evaporation takes a toll on water level. Without the pumps operating, the rods would be exposed and you'd get a FUKU disaster...

It takes months if not years for the rods to be cooled sufficiently to be stored externally underground....

That wouldn't work. It has to do with Power Transfer. It would be like trying to plug your toaster into a 50,000+ volt power line....

What sort of person even thinks about this and then goes on a forum and tells people that they were warned?

Are you admitting that someone is thinking about a terrorist threat in the USA, op?

--

NUKES ARE A HOAX!!! Nuclear power is part of the HOAX. There are NO NUCLEAR REACTIONS!!!

here is a silly question.

If nuclear energy can provide energy for decades, then why do they need a power grid to cool it down. Shouldn't it be able to power itself?

Uh oh, OP is another radiation-tard.

THERE ARE NO NUCLEAR BOMBZ ON MY FLAT EARFFFF!

all companies who are specialized in nuclear power are run by reptilians. Their goal is the exterminate the human race.

You, Sir, are a fuckwit and have no place on this board with thinking people. Go watch your collection of Hitlery promises.

If the US experiences an EMP attack I expect ALL GE Mark I reactors to Fuku and we have at least a dozen of those turds in operation. GE should be held accountable for releasing a lethal POS upon the world

I am a retired radiation hardness and susceptibility engineer. I know what I am talking about. If you live within 100 miles of a Mark I get a Geiger counter and some iodine.

they have local diesel backup ya know.

It could very well be why the USA is not recognized in the book of Revelation.
