RE: The Evil Nuclear Power Plants! - Emancipated Human
Sorry, but that's "Failed logic" Anytime you replace a part, that is new, that IS an upgrade, and does increase safety. Every part manufactured in the world has a MTBF (Mean Time before Failure) rating. As systems and parts are replaced, most of the time they ARE using new, improved parts/systems, but NOT in all cases. basically I agree with your premise however !, I HATE Nukes (IMO) they are the greatest sin creation of man ...
No, I'm sorry but you can only increase safety as far as overall plant design will allow. My logic was not faulty, I did not say that replacing a failing part did not increase safety. I said it does not improve the safety of the design of the plant.
I don't hate nuclear power, I feel it is a necessary component of any national energy supply that does not contribute as much damage to the environment as coal or natural gas (when the radioactive remains are properly dealt with).
Thanks for your input.
