Background Paper on BWR Reactors for non-Nuclear Engineers – Fukushima reactor schematics, containment

At this point who cares, most people have seen that plants do and will melt down and the radiation cannot be contained at the site. The release of radiation in Japan has been going on for more than a year from at least 3 reactors and it looks like storage fuel and other radioactive materials are on fire. These plants are getting to old and with the increases in numbers of plants will insure that the next problem will pop up soon. The past has structured the future as I do not see the public allowing any more plants and on top of this the nuclear industry have lied at best and misled the public from day one that plants could never melt down, I remember the pro nuclear saying that the plants would fail safe without any ones help and lied saying that when power failed the fuel rods gravity assist lowered out of place, very simple system but now we know it was a big fat lye. So good luck and right now I am in my living room with the windows and doors closed and I should not hear anything outside this house but today the birds are chirping like hell (in 64 years I have not heard birds like this) to get a female response without success.
