Russian Nuclear Reactors And Military Bases In Argentina

[lucha54]

i dont mind the US not dominating the world but I really don't think that Argentina nor Russia are up to the task!!

One would think (hope) that after an even like Chernobyl; lessons would be learned and any present/future developments would be based on those findings. I mean, we could now start to question Japanese technology as it failed to contain the Fukushima reactor. They make fine cars but wow... I hope they never come out with a nuclear powered car

Those who fail learn the hard way, but they learned something. I'd worry more about the promises of a system that makes big claims but has never been put to the test.

The Fukushima reactor was designed by GE. Also, any light water nuclear reactor is inherently dangerous. The solution for safe nuclear fission is to leave light water uranium nuclear reactors altogether and use thorium nuclear reactors instead.

lets change the refrain from YANKEE GO HOME to RUSKIES GO HOME!
Living in a former Soviet-dominated land(Czech Rep, ex Czechoslovakia) the only good trace they left behind were their last footsteps RELUNCTANTLY being forced back to life in the USSR in the early 90s
I refer NOT to the Russian people but rather the PUTIN KGB-LIKE government currently in power
Crissy, go spend some time with the real Cubanos in the campo and not in the Hotel Nacional in Habana and see the wonders left byt the former Soviets!
While I am the first to say NO to a USA dominated area, current Russia is NOT the path to take!

I do not think that there is anything, anywhere that can be built to predictably sustain a tidal wave.

I have absolutely no idea what this means but it you sound like you're very smart.

Not by GE, but Hitachi and Toshiba under GE basic patent obtained back in the 60's and wasn't by GE design but a British one was
the 1st ever built one, I think it was the Tokai nuke plant then decommissioned in late 90...

That said, the Japanese coast and tidal waves are not strangers to each other.

Argentina is fairly low risk on the international scale of national disasters, once the flood planes of the major rivers are avoided.

Ha,ha...The next fuel to proper the Automobiles are the Fuel cells, ( Hydrogen ) and Toyota will launch those vehicle for sale in Japan in late this year into 2015. It only takes a few minute to charge up those tank and can go over 600 km before re-fueling.
And Japanese technology is much admired by advanced nations. Its Nuke plant safety and reliability is the most respected one.
Imagine, time after time, those Nuke plant foundation are shaken by earthquake in the magnitude of recorded 9.0 but those edifices still standing erect. The engineers never took precaution in designing anti wave walls high enough and they ever imagined the "nature force" Tsunami waves that came in at over 10 metres pounding on the plant's buildings knocking down emergency reactor cooling diesel power generators.

Yeah, Argentina is blessed in that respect. No natural desaster such as the quake and tsunamis. But the neighbor in Chile, it is devastatingly dangerous.
