I almost always quote articles directly since slashdot spelling nazis are so vicious. The articles generally have editors who check for that. Slashdot editors don't though they occasionally juice things up by leaving out some balancing text I've noticed.
Solar panels don't use much steel. They require much less effort to produce and deploy than nuclear power plants. The electricity costs a third as much as nuclear because of this and is getting cheaper.
Only about 20% of my submissions get posted. Of those pending, three have nothing to do with nuclear power and one of the other four is good news. In the nuclear industry, good news is rare.
Or, you could require recruits to pass a physical exam and the discharge sailors that get sick, leaving a healthier group than the general population. Not exactly magic.
They keep water out of the engine. I wonder if it would help to filter air intakes on ships in this kind of situation which might also arise during hostilities?
Sandy was modeled for conditions occurring 100 years ago and 100 years in the future. Landfall shifted north and intensity increased with time. http://journals.ametsoc.org/do...
With attribution comes liability. One party which had foreknowledge of the consequences of carbon pollution and attempted to hide it was Exxon. http://insideclimatenews.org/n... Their liability may extend to triple damages.
Superstorm Sandy gets some discussion in the report, but the phenomenon that gets most discussion regarding an extended season is wildfire. But it seems like out-of-season weather would be among the easiest to attribute to warming.
"Many discussions of nuclear power on slashdot are polluted by references to completely bogus calculations at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory web site that claim that coal power plants emit more radiation into the environment than nuclear power plants. This is completely bogus because when coal is burned, the uranium within it remains in the ash and its concentration is no greater than in typical low carbon soils. You might as well say that a bulldozer pushing clay soil around is releasing radiation into the environment. Why? Because the uranium in coal comes from the soil out of which the primaeval forest grew. When the coal is burned, you just get the soil components back."

From the article, it looks as though some of our people got radiation sickness from a more recent accident. It's not just Chernobyl.

From what I've seen Chernobyl alone will cause around 45,000 excess cancer deaths. Haven't heard that about solar.

Did I submit an article about the Navy doing a pretty good job handling a tough situation?
Those cities were happy to be bombed, blink once.
It is expensive to have to clean up after civilian nuclear power. It is something that should be left to military applications.
He thought the tax returns would be important.

We leave huge dirty bombs next to our cities ready to be used. http://fortune.com/2016/03/08/...
On rivers and streams in the US, the Clean Water Act provides tools the control pollution.

But, if, like First Solar, you want to use CdTe instead of silicon, looks like your raw materials are also unconstrained.
