#anyways please don’t let shows deter you from supporting nuclear energy

[good-night-space-kid]

I don’t talk about it much but one of my biggest interests is nuclear energy and disasters and I see that Netflix has recently added a new dramatized series on Fukushima daiichi so 👀

I’ve actually been really hoping for a docu series on the event and aftermath for a while, and even though I’m not big on the dramatized series I’m still super excited that this is happening because it might open the door for a proper documentary series in the near future

#anyways please don’t let shows deter you from supporting nuclear energy #every disaster we have experienced has drastically improved the safety of nuclear energy practices #I hate the fear mongering that often accompanies information about these disasters #even when Chernobyl happened in Russia the same accident could not have happened in the us #because rbmk type reactors were built with flaws thst had already been intentionally eliminated in American reactors #and the Fukushima disaster was a major flaw in preparation for natural disasters that should have been preventable #but the station was built with safety features for a large earthquake OR a tsunami but not both #which should have been considered given the high probability of the two combining #but instead of implimenting precautions for future natural disasters Japan shut down all nuclear facilities in the country #we need nuclear now more than ever if we want to continue industrializing without producing more greenhouse #and I wish people understood more about how nuclear power and waste disposal actually works #that was long whoops had a real autism moment there #anyways it’s called the days
