Underwater Nuclear Power Plant Proposed In France
nicomede writes "The French state-owned DCNS (French military shipyard) announced today a concept study for an underwater nuclear reactor dedicated to power coastal communities in remote places. It is derived from nuclear submarine power plants, and its generator would be able to produce between 50 MWe and 250MWe. Such a plant would be fabricated and maintained in France, and dispatched for the different customers, thus reducing the risk for proliferation."
> What could possibly go wrong?
For the sake of going OT: everytime I hear about nuclear and water I recall the wormwood=chernobyl reference and the fact that a star is basically a nuclear reactor.
Rev 8:10-11 "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."
- It Doesn't really apply to a star that is already under the sea. River and fountain of waters is well related to land nuclear sites though.
- A single plant can't do damage to 1/3rd of the waters. If the damage was systemic (lots of incidents covered up for convenience) it could happen.
And, leaving religion aside, if the writer wrote down a vision and there were a way to "dream about the future", the symbolism would fit enough.

Ah, I screwed that up. I should have read the GP's post, then I would have understood h4rr4r's comment better. He posts so much, I should have given him the benefit of the doubt.
