Dave, what do you think about this....would it make sense to plan to close down any of the plants immediately that are on faults, and to build new ones that are the pebble type, not able to have a melt down....this would seem intelligent, with a long term plan of phasing out the old plants that pose such danger to the public. Can we afford this type of a catastrophe, this loss of life and contamination? We need leadership , we can not allow this type of danger to exist when we have new technology, my mind tells me...what say you?

Dave DeCenzo The 200MW VHTGR being built in Idaho for the DOE will provide a proof of concept. After that plant passes its commissioning tests in 2014, then copies can be built. Certainly, site plans could be done ahead of then and any enviro permits ap...plied for and so on for other sites. Existing plants on fault lines will not necessarily see a tsunami, but re-evaluation of cool-down redundancies after emergency shutdown is warranted. I would rather see the worst coal plants taken off line before the nukes if the nuke re-evaluations determine there are sufficiently low risks. Imagine how this would have played out if the Japan plants had had 3 or 4 WindTurbines of size 3MW sitting there as redundancy for the diesel generators and batteries. I have not seen a weather report yet where the wind stopped over there.
