Fukushima Is a Disaster - No Question about It.

[MineralMan]

24. No, I don't want anyone to shut up.

I've made it clear that I oppose nuclear power generation, and have made that clear for a very long time. Now that the worst has occurred, the only people capable of dealing with the removal of the fuel rod assemblies are those who created the plants in the first place. That is my point. Nobody else has the expertise needed to do so.

And there it is. I'm not an expert in it either. The experts in that area are the ones who are on the job, along with a lot of other experts. Let's hope they do it successfully. The alternative is not to do it at all, and that's not a real alternative at all.

If someone can come up with someone else who would be more qualified to do this, no names have been mentioned by anyone. I keep asking, and the answer is not forthcoming.

Nuclear power generation is not safe. It cannot be made to be safe.

It exists, however, and now that Fukushima has occurred, it has to be dealt with.
