Even if the plant was flooded, security measures have been tightened since 1999, then Fukushima, so no worries on this side;) https://www.irsn.fr/FR/connaissances/In ... HPv4ehKiCg

Yeah, but Special Envoy was careful not to spread this crucial information.

Scary is more sales than telling the facts. This is the principle of the media and I find that in a forum like that, we have to get out of their schemes, if we want the truth to be made.

In Fukushima the truth was made ... it is not the first time in the history of accidentology that serious events could have been avoided by prophylactic measures.
I also remember the fire in the Mont Blanc tunnel or the Genoa bridge etc ...
