“The containment structures appear to be working, and the latest reactor designs aren't vulnerable to the coolant problem at issue here.”
-- “Nuclear expert” William Tucker writing in Monday’s WSJ *
“Nuclear experts” have become hot media properties ever since it was announced six days ago that the reactors at Fukushima were in trouble. They’ve been rushed in to minimize the problem (and its potential) in broadcast and in print. Whether by virtue of stupidity or cupidity, our nuke power junkies are trying to downplay the catastrophe Japan faces for the sole purpose of preempting healthy debate and keeping their “movement” alive. But every time they make a soothing statement (“this and this can’t happen here”) a few minutes later we read a headline telling us it just happened. For anyone who’s been paying attention, the pro-nuke shills are making a public spectacle of themselves. They’re getting rolled by reality even before the ink dries.
For a more honest and revealing assessment, have a look at this video here.*

Start Here;
I think to start off, it’s necessary to give you a little of my background in this area, just to establish my bone-a-fidos to let y’all know I ain’t speaking outta my ass with this shit. I spent 6 years in the US Navy nuclear program as both an operator, radiation and chemistry technician and instructor. Following this I entered the commercial nuclear field as a radiation safety officer for a year, then transferred into plant operations. I obtained an NRC Reactor Operator license and following the additional requisite training and experience an NRC Senior Reactor Operator license and served as a Control Room Supervisor. I decided to leave the shift-work of operations and transferred to a position as a Senior Emergency Planning Engineer. This allowed me to obtain a Master’s Level certification in Nuclear Engineering Technology. We developed, trained and tested implementation of the nuclear emergency plans for the state and local government as well as the company. I also had a sub-specialty in emergency planning for what is called Severe Accident Management, which is precisely what Japan is facing.

Dan,
The pro-nuke shills are not getting rolled by reality, only by the media. If you want accurate inof try the IAEA .
