That and the whole design of that kind of reactor had some defects. Scramming the reactor caused it to briefly spike in output, lack of real secondary containment, use of water as a moderator, the reactor could actually act as 2 or 3 separate reactors (localized hotpots). The scram issue they found at a previous reactor in the 70s (Lennongrad?) but the report was buried.No no, I like renewables. 100% think its a thing.
But not a primary power source, more a supplemental.
And yes, everytime I start talking nuclear, someone asks me if I saw the Chernobyl documentary. Like nuclear power hasn't advanced since the 80s.
Yes, solar all the roofs, but we need somewhere to store the excess power too.
