Angela! I am sure you have considered that the hydro dam, close to Zapo, would cause a *lot* more damage should it be bombed. But I understand this sort of messes up the narrative. Risk/benefit analysis is a great tool, Angela!

A scramโd nuclear reactor only needs two days of water before it is OK. That can be done completely passively. If not, the back up generators for 2 days of pumping are not very big. In Fukushima they were taken out by the water because they were sited badly.
@NoNukeBailouts
The design, operation, and maintenance of the backup cooling systems is to prevent the โperilousโ and โprecariousโ conditions. And itโs done very well. Nuclear will be around for decades to come.
@NoNukeBailouts
Itโs obvious that you have no clue. Wind turbines require backup power for their pitch system. Solar farms require backup systems for blackstart capability.
nuclear generators need backup auxiliary supply and so do coal p/stns.
@NoNukeBailouts
That's just false. Renewables do not need cooling because they don't generate much energy. Reactors can be cooled with steam-powered pumps- if the reactor is making steam it can cool itself. So there!

This is distorting IAEA's concerns in Ukraine. I respect OCAA for the coal phase-out, but ...
If 'clean air' is your priority, then nuclear power is an excellent energy source that can replace fossil fuels: Transportation and home heat pumps.
