Why The Largest Nuclear Power Plant Was Shut Down

For over a decade the world’s largest nuclear power plant has lain eerily dormant. A chain of mishaps, both natural and man-made, have delayed it’s reopening. Yet many locals are clamouring for its return. So why did Kashiwazaki-Kariwa in Japan close in the first place? What’s keeping it shut? And could a previously undetected fault line under the sea condemn it to being abandoned forever?

A nuclear powerplant is only worth the risk if: you dont have frequent natural disaster, your staff is competent and last but most important you dont dischard any safety measures in favor of money in any way shape or form. and japan maybe fits only the employee criteria.

Nuclear in a earthquake nation is a challenge - of course, better than oil or gas, which are bad for the enviroment, and Japan has neither. Worth noting how wind and solar have been failing to make up coal, oil and gases shortfall, while nuke never fell short.

[@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk]

That's right, shut down all nuclear power plants based on unfounded fears while at the same time phasing out fossil fuels. Then watch how quickly chaos ensues when there are massive price increases with permanent rolling blackouts.

[@rdhamapurkar93]

Please read the book - Critical Path by Buckminster Fuller, where he clearly told that we should not use Nuclear power. Instead we all should focus on improving solar and hydro power enhancements which will last for generations after generations. Even if we could convert as much the sun power, will have more than what is needed.

[@gildedphoenix]

Actually, the energy production should go toward nuclear more and more, due to very high efficiency, consistency, energy generation per square kilometer and having 0 carbon emission. The solar plants creates 300 times more toxic wastes than nuclear plants.

[@jenspettersen7837]

Critical Path was written in 1981. The world has changed and the worlds energy consumption has increased a lot since then.

@@gildedphoenix agreed. People are brain washed nowadays to think that renewables can replace nuclear, oil and coal power plants...

@@carlosfaria7390 about electric cars, they indeed take 3 times more carbon print to make one than a combustion one but in 7 years of use (which is a lot though) can make the same print with the combustion one when we include the energy for recharge the electric car.

What a sad waste of money. How many solar panels and batteries could that money have funded without all that risk?

[@adampaseur1190]

The amount of solar panels with the same money would not have produced near as much electricity... our solar panels aren’t efficient enough to even come close, now batteries would have been worth the investment

[@brianrcVids]

@@adampaseur1190 The International Energy Agency (IEA) has said solar is now the cheapest energy in history. And the price is still falling rapidly. It's far cheaper than nuclear. Have you seen the work of Tony Sepa? Nuclear power plants are about to become stranded assets if they're not already. They won't be able to sell their electricity to market because solar energy is so much cheaper and a lot less expensive to maintain.

[@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk]

@@brianrcVids Solar power kills more than nuclear power.

[@pedersgm]

@@brianrcVids To build just the solar facility yes, assuming you can find the land area for it, but not if the needed grid storage is accounted for. To get an equivalent plant to say a 3500MW nuclear facility in solar, the solar facility alone would be much cheaper but only energy for about a 5th the number of homes total averaged throughout the year. With the needed energy storage to make it dispathable, it would instead cost 10 times as much using the cheapest available grid energy storage (which is unavailable at that scale) while still only providing for a 5th the number of homes. To provide the equivalent energy you would need a solar facility of 5 times the capacity (which would be about 50% the cost to build as the nuclear facilty) but still isn't dispatchable. All that to say that solar being cheaper than nuclear is just not accurate.

Coal, oil, wood etc or Nuclear? Which is the cleanest. All with outside inspectors being lied to, employees manipulating anything they can get their hands on lying to all that you're not buying a $1,000 car that's a complete pile of junk but the most refine automobile the world could manufacture any form of power being generated on such a large scale could be deadly if not maintained properly. It's not the source of power that ultimately dangerous It's the people hired to run & maintain that source of power that are the ultimate problem. Humans are animals...they are also the deadliest animal on planet earth. We cannot hide from ourselves no matter how hard we wish we could or try.

@@bobi_lopataru That is not much of an argument, not to be mean but that is a fallacy. How can you say only two have done it? There are lists yards long replete with NP's failures and accidents. The risk is so great, and the benefit so mundane that it will always be a hell of a way to boil water.

Neuclear power's not worth any risk, it's where limits should be set; pro life.

[@coreytaylor447]

actually nuclear power is remarkably safe and even the worst of the radioactive waste can be recycled back into reactors to provide more power with modern day tech. the only reason reactors have failed is because of either decades of mismanagement and under funding or poor placement of the reactor sites

[@bruhder5854]

It's far better than most alternatives (fossil fuels, gas, etc). The issue is when it's miss handled or proper precautions aren't put in place. Fukushima plant even during its disaster didn't result in direct loss of human lives while just through burning fossil fuels, there's an annual death rate of around 100-200 people (iirc) every year.

Jesus controls the weather, the wind, rain, sun, cold, warmth, and the seasons. Every aspect of weather is controlled by God and God alone❗ Praise God thank you Jesus for being You and all You do for everyone and bringing about the change we all need, want and believe You for. In Jesus name Sometimes God uses weather as consequences for sin. Like a nation having drought causes difficulty and He does it for that reason, consequences. So repent, and pray and seek His face, believe in Him..ask him for anything in His name and He will do it. Everyone's has sinned and there are consequences for those actions. God uses curses and you need to be forgiven and Him being a Holy merciful God having sent Jesus for everyone will forgive you and come be taught by Him in Jesus name 🙏
