The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Our is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.
Omar Bradley
In case you want to have a realistic background of GE BWR reactor design, there is a brief but accurate description from the NRC Reactor Concepts. The Fukushima units 1-3 are GE Mark I containment designs.
As a former GE BWR Senior Reactor Operator (Dresden Units 2/3) and having worked at Brown’s Ferry and Peach Bottom, it’s disappointing to hear all of the misinformation in the news reporting. Not only the technical description of how the systems work, but also information on radiation, radioactive material, and radioactive contamination., Even supposed experts disappoint me.
A small leak will sink a great ship.
