i saw a reactor in Germany last time i was there(2 years or was it three) didnt have time to do the tour of the thing though so all i saw was the cooling chimneys belching steam canada was( not sure if still is) is a leading country on peace time usage of nuclear energy with our CANDU reactors which are used often in europe fison power one bathtub of water IIRC would provide enough power (in split hydrogen) to last an entire liftime for one person yes also the 2011 disaster in japan was a water caused breakdown M.J.Lampert

this is like the advancement of bombs the first where black powder some metal scraps in bamboo or paper this has now evolved into the highly effective and lethal hydrogen bombs that create many millions the destruction of the first ones. but this is efficient in what it does the first ones where meant to injure or sare the enemy an atom bomb is meant to wipe out large industrial areas quickly these both do the job they where meant for back to Thomas' original post this is like when people say the German tiger was a bad tank, it was used in the wrong spot it was meant as a heavy breakthrough tank not as a steady fighter. when Germany bite to much off of the USSR they through every thing in even if they weren't designed for this. the tigers took a long down time to repair this was good for attacking as they pushed through the hardest units and the rest of the army came behind to relive them establish a perimeter and finish sweeping out the enemy but when they had no tine to repair of course they had problems do you run a truck without changing oil or a motor if you know a gear is missing a few teeth you wont run it same thing they knew things where braking but didn't try to fix it as there was no time so then of course they broke down and people started to call them unreliable this is not the case the problem was a change in agenda they where made to attack not to defend thus when they where force to do a job they weren't meant for things went bad, like if you need to cut some metal but all you got is a wood saw it ight work but is gonna break something same with the tiger sorry for the rant but I can get pretty fired up sometimes when its a thing that i care about especially when people miss inform others on those things.
