Black Swan Theory and anti-nuclear sentiment

12. let's talk safety procedures

"The best way to change public opinion about the likelihood of nuclear accidents is to make more information available not only about the safety procedures in nuclear reactors, but also about the true causes of recent nuclear accidents"

GE and TEPCO certainly have volumes of written safety procedures for all scenarios, I'm quite sure.

I would love for someone to show me the written procedures which state that sea water be pumped into the reactors and SFPs. Does such a thing exist? Or was this stop-gap measure just improvised?

What is a plant like Palo Verde requires supplemental emergency cooling? There is no body of water (fresh or saline) with which to pump.

What happens if the earthen dams which hold together many current cooling ponds washes out? What "safety procedures" will mitigate that?
