a tectonic plate might shift. I don't see that would work, unless the ground literally split in half under the containment building which would never happen, they're simply not built in such areas.
Then you're mighty stupid, because earthquakes happen and tsunamis happen, you idiot.
Both are accounted for, the earth splitting apart right at the reactor is mental masturbation.
"Bothe are accounted for." Oh, pardon me, I didn't realize that our construction methods and materials were now MAGICAL, and could withstand earthquakes rippling the ground near the speed of sound. I had no idea that we were so mighty and advanced a species that we could now build a facility so stable that it could withstand a 9.1 or greater earthquake without breaking in multiple places.
You have your head pretty far up your ass at this point, maybe you should look shit up in a book before you go off with your "I skimmed a Ted Talk once" level of understanding of the subject telling me all about nuclear engineering and how foolproof it is. Ever heard of The Great Chilean Earthquake? 9.5 on the Richter Scale. Ever heard of the New Madrid Earthquakes? Happened right on the Mississippi River, made it run backwards for days. Knocked people off their feet, lasted minutes. Ever heard of Fukushima? Caused a tsunami that sent ten-meter tidal waves that just rolled around and around town, pretty much plowing and scouring every structure off the land that stood before them. Overwhelmed the dikes that had been thoughtfully placed around the power plant, which had been built in what was considered a reasonably safe place.
Nope, fission power is not safe, especially with Affirmative Action hires running around everywhere.
Fuck you and your condescending comments, blocked.
