The containment system for GE's Mark 1 Nuclear Reactors
03/15/2011
The containment system for GE's Mark 1 Nuclear Reactors is not as robust as other reactors. It is cheaper to build. But it creates unacceptable risks in the event of a failure in the reactor's cooling systems, as ocurred at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
