It was the tsunami really f***d things up. We have had tsunamis in
the
UK. We have nuclear power stations on the coast. too. Don't think it
couldn't happen here.

So what? If we build more stations they will be third generation
and will not need the generators that were the critical things
destroyed by the tsunami.

This man is barking mad.

Errm, could you kindly explain why? I don't see it myself.

"We have nuclear power stations on the coast. too. Don't think it

Clearly barking.

Perhaps, instead of waving your hands in the air and shouting we are all
doomed, you would like to provide a detailed anaylsis of the effects on
any of our existing or projected nuclear power plants of a tsunami such
as those reported in the Wikipedia article. You could also describe the
effects of the much more probable event of a tidal surge, such as hit
the Sounth Coast about 30 years ago or as devastated the East Coast in
1953.

The Safety and Reliability Directorate of the AEA has, of course,
already done this, along with such other unlikely events as the risk of
being hit by a meteorite.

If that happens its Goodnight, Vienna an never mind a puddle of radiation.

You will note that Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki are inhabited today.

And also that wildlife is flourishing in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
It's only humans that aren't there.
