Basically it sounds like nuke plants should have all the emissions captured via a vacuum containment system. As in build a dome over the whole plant and suck up and filter the emissions? Sounds great. Imagine a dome over Fukushima..... they could control it somewhat.... if they only had a dome.

As for profits.... the nukers are taking the money and running. The leftover costs will be borne by the public. We call it privatizing the profits and socializing the costs.

Just look at what Japan is faced with: A bankrupt Tepco and a cleanup bill that will run in the trillions of dollars.
