What happened at Chernobyl [sp.?] had to do with the control rods... the control rods stabilize the reaction by receiving the neutrons given off from the reaction... so they lifted the control rods all the way and predicted it will take ten minutes for them to come back down... they were wrong... it took twenty minutes which led to a meltdown... So, anyway... that was their mistake... At Three Mile Island... a puff of steam from the rods was released... it wasn't known if it was radioactive or not.. but the steam was because something had gone wrong with the water that goes through to cool down the rods... Which was honestly nothing to worry about... So, yeah... Another thing is that nuclear power plants do not contain enough of the Uranium isotope or any other isotope that can set off a reaction if something went wrong... Meaning the Power Plant will not blow up or make a 'nuclear bomb' or anything because of the insufficient amount to set off the reaction...
Nuclear Power Plants are safe. That's where I stand on this. |
