How Small Reactor Fires Could Result in U.S. Nuclear Disasters Worse Than Fukushima
2014-02-18 19:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: No matter the size, a nuclear reactor pool fire is dangerous enough to change millions of lives forever. The Nuclear Information Resource and Service and dozens of other organizations on Tuesday uncovered an unpublished study by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that suggests that even a small nuclear reactor pool fire could render up to 9,400 square miles uninhabitable, displacing more than 4 million Americans. The study examined spent fuel storage at the Peach Bottom reactor in Pennsylvania...
