map above, the worst-case-scenario is always going to be one where the ‘issue’ leads to complete power failure. Taking a simple look at the risks that may exist around any nuclear power plant, including the locations in the U.S. The underlying issue was a complete lack of electrical power, power sufficient enough to run the powerful cooling pumps. This led to a lack of cooling of fuel rods in the reactors, which then led to a meltdown situation. The problem at Fukushima: All electrical power was lost to the plant (earthquake – tsunami – backup generators destroyed – battery backup dead).
near one of these reactors – should a worst-case-scenario ever occur.
To consider the potential risk for those living in the U.S. Without discussing For or Against nuclear power, it may be smarter and a better use of time to learn some lessons from what happened in Japan that led to the the Fukushima meltdown. Nuclear Reactor Locationsīack during the time of the nuclear reactor meltdown disaster in Fukushima Japan, I put together a location map of the current (and decommissioned) nuclear power plant / reactors in the United States. Potassium Iodide Tablets, 130 mg (14 Tablets) Note: Potassium iodide tablets – a thyroid blocking medicine used in a nuclear emergency.
