Safety Problems in Reactors Designed Like Fukushima

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster update. Fairewinds Introduces a Japanese Language Edition and Identifies Safety Problems in all Reactors Designed Like Fukushima September 19, 2011 Gundersen expresses concerns that the nuclear industry and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are not addressing major safety issues that have become evident since Fukushima. These issues include serious design flaws in the BWR Mark 1 containment, fundamental flaws in the Boiling Water Reactor vessel design, and problems with detonation shockwaves. The NRC and the nuclear industry are using a flawed cost benefit computer code that underestimates the value of human life and minimize property damages after an accident, which has the effect of justifying continued operation of reactors without safety modifications. Also, Fairewinds announces the launch of the Japanese language version of its site, fairewinds.jp. Edition: www.youtube.com fairewinds.com http vimeo.com
