Is It Possible To Build A Disaster-Proof Nuclear Power Plant?


 Is it? – Not prior to 1996 according to Gizmodo.  The industry that promised "electricity too cheap to meter" in the fifties, safety at Three Mile Island, Windscale (subsequently renamed Sellafield – only the names have been changed to protect the guilty), Chernobyl & until now Fukushima, promises that post 1996 reactors are safe.  Anyone else seeing a pattern?
