Mode 5, is that what happened to Reactor 3 at Fukushima....you know "natural cooling"

You mean lives will be lost from airtravel once again. The nuke plants will coast down to Mode 5. You do know what Mode 5 is right?

Valves fail in safe position. If they are to be open, they will fail open. If they are to be closed they will fail in the closed position. I thought you knew about plant ops?

Also Carrington event wont tax UPS or mechanical piping like a tsunami.

Airplane might crash on your house or elementary school. The poor kiddies. Risk is relative. Nuke much less than air travel. Documented fewer deaths/op hrs. Dont give me Yablokov millions. Habeas corpus. Produce the actual cases not mumbo jumbo stats that can be massaged and manipulated

I subscribe to Power Mag, they always have articles about failed valves at nuke plants.

Special inspections, etc. In this article 3 of 4 critical valves failed. Shame Shame

those airplanes will likely all be a loss. I take that risk at my choosing for my purpose and benefit.

Unlike nuke....unacceptable risk and no choice.

BWR is not set up as you pretend. And valves are always broke and not tested.

The cooling corcuits were inundated. Still 20,000 dead from the tsunami none from radiation, even at the plant.

You dont need wires for nat circ. Heat rises, cools by convection.then falls due to gravity.. heats up and repeats. I thought you knew this. Because if you did, you would realize how lame your proposition would be.

Now whatabout the thiusands of airplanes in the skies at rhe time?

Yeah, that link I posted was bad. it was in a quote somewhere. Ok, the plasma explanation would change things. Plasma or ion chimneys have been reported above operating nuclear power plants in Arto's videos. And when Fukushima blew, the top of the atmosphere was being observed from satellite for heat, and the temperature went up over Fukushima. Some or a lot of the finer radioactive particles got swept up high rather quickly, IMO.

Under ordinary conditions, air has an extremely high amount of resistance. It is so high, in fact, that we typically treat its resistance as infinite and electrical conduction through the air as negligible. The presence of water and/or dust in air lowers its resistance some, but it is still an insulator for most practical purposes. When a sufficient amount of high voltage is applied across a distance of air, though, its electrical properties change: electrons become "stripped" from their normal positions around their respective atoms and are liberated to constitute a current. In this state, air is considered to be ionized and is referred to as a plasma rather than a normal gas. This usage of the word "plasma" is not to be confused with the medical term (meaning the fluid portion of blood), but is a fourth state of matter, the other three being solid, liquid, and vapor (gas). Plasma is a relatively good conductor of electricity, its specific resistance being much lower than that of the same substance in its gaseous state

Good stuff stock. But '220 ohms' for the atmosphere? I'm assuming you just left out several zeroes. "

The resistivity of air is 3 gigaohms/m for a 1-cm cross section near the surface, "

Ya, that natural circulation worked REAL GOOD at Fukushima. I guess you are the best and brightest.

And all their systems weren't fried. In a Carrington, the wires and the control panels would all be fried.

We are taught from the best teachers, who themselves were taught from the best, and so on. College science and engineering education at the bachelor's level is based on learning first principles. At the masters level, the emphasis is on synthesis for professional practice. The PhD level, which is much maligned by those that dont understand that process, serves as that point where true independent thinking starts. The PhD level engineer has no more core coursework, but is leaps and bounds ahead of any Internet self-taught or self-styled engineer. This is evident in viewing many amateur accounts of specious scenarios and hypotheses.

I know where you are going. You think a Carrington event will lead to global nuclear disaster. All it will do is cause automatic shutdown and core cooling to Mode 5 is accomplished with natural circulation. Thats the real physics.
