After a Long While, I took the time to update it. Hope You Like it! How to operate: 1. Increase Core Temperature 2. Open Water Valve 3. wait 4. Overheating will cause a violent meltdown 5. SPRK and hold on RED button, release for a while before repeating

I like to simulate a meltdown

BokkaB: Nuclear Energy is the most efficient at the moment

Next time, @BokkaB, do some research and don't go around spamming comments on things that you do not understand, alright? Here is a video with more information on the matter:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-yALPEpV4w

Nuclear radioactive waste from nuclear power plants, have been contained in extremely secure canisters with 50cm+ thick lead shielding stored away 5000 metres into the earth. The tossing of nuclear waste into the ocean has been discontinued since 1972 and all prior dumpings were of secure concrete containers at the bottom and middle of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. These were also comprised of low level nuclear waste which, since 1946, have had no effect on the aquatic environment.

Nuclear killed only 4000 people thanks to the accident in Chernobyl in 1986. Furthermore there has been no reports of injury or death from radiation effects in Fukushima. Chernobyl was a result of ignorance and inexperience which led to a chain reaction of events, ending in a meltdown. Fukushima was the result of a massive tsunami. From then on, nuclear power plants have been made so secure that eating a banana would give you more radiation than living next to a nuclear reactor for a year.

Wind on the other hand retrieves, on average, only slightly more energy than it takes to set the wind turbine up after 6 months! (depending on how windy the location is). Although it does not take up as much space as solar does, wind still uses a lot of land area and only generates 250 Watts per square meter. Wind power is also extremely weak and only operates 60% of the time on a good day. Not only that, but wind also kills an estimated 140,000 to 328,000 birds each year.

I agree with @PilotLuke, fission is the greenest source of energy. Solar is not very effective at retrieving energy and instead reflects most of the light back into the upper atmosphere. This means they overheat and sometimes cause the birds that fly overhead to literally catch on fire midair. Solar also utilizes a lot of land coverage and has a very short lifespan which results in massive amounts of metallic waste each year.

True, the steam that comes out of cooling towers is NOT RADIOACTIVE. Infact it's cleaner than coal because the gases released by the smoke IS more radioactive than radiation released by nuclear power plants.

@BokkaB Its the cleanest source of energy we have, and its more powerful and cleaner than solar and wind energy.
