In a reactor design that does not have a need for a power supply then there is no chance for a problem with power supplies.
Yes. Right. We got it. However there are none available at present. Right? So why blame this particular design? Any currently available reactor would have failed in this accident.
China is building a completely passive waste free commercial reactor to be available in 10 years.
Okay, so in 10 years a solution will be here. Japan presently has 50 reactors turned off, and they cannot afford to replace them with Chinese reactors available in 10 years.
Anyway, even if cold fusion does not succeed, I think there is no chance people will building uranium fission reactors 10 years from now. Certainly they will not be in Japan.
