Nuclear Power Plants and SHTF

[The Somnambulist]

This Japan situation has got me thinking about nuclear power. What will happen to the 104 U.S. nuclear power plants in a bad SHTF situation?

I assume the military will be deployed to protect them. Will they be able to keep them operational and safe?

How far away would be safe from a meltdown?

The radioactive cloud from Japan has been circling the globe already.
Answer?................Can't think of a safe place.

And by the way, what makes us so sure that the reactors along the San Andreas fault line in CA. won't over-react the way Japans did?

Stay safe all,
Will

We actually live in a fairly decent location here in the northwest if the dung truck crosses paths with the windmill. I can think of worse places that I would rather bivouac when the stank starts drifting.

The Military will not need to be deployed to protect the plants. They are already well protected. The Department of Energy has an excellent paramilitary force already deployed on every site and many mobile units used for security of fuel shipments.

Other than the Pyramids which don't look very serviceable I haven't seen people yet build anything I would store radioactive waste in for the next 30,000 or so years.

That is good to know. Still, I think that in a full-scale TEOTWAWKI situation it would take a company sized element to fully secure these sites.

Free recharges on the night sights.

I read an article a couple weeks ago assessing the potential for a similar event here. Under the same circumstances as Japan, California seemed to be the only place where collateral damage, and catastrophic human loss would occur. The geniuses down there built 3 of them on active fault lines.

That much is in the public domain.....nothing new. No violation.

I think your bigger problem is going to be the SHTF event rather than any radiation being released from a nuclear plant.

nuclear power is safe, there is no cause for alarm.
The fda has just found out that humans can handle more
Radiation then they thought so even though right now,
What is going on in japan is listed as being dangerous,
The fda just raised the threshold danger level of the
amount of radiation a human can take before it is considered dangerous
To a higher level meaning that japan is not dangerous anymore.
