New Proposed Sizewell C

Odd. I just wrote a reply which did not appear.

The main acute problem would be tsunamis. The Atlantic is not known to be a location for earthquake-induced tsunamis; the key danger is the possible collapse of La Palma in the Canaries. Exactly how such a tsunami would play out in that location is a matter for simulation. I don't know it has been done but I suspect it has. An obvious way to get a PhD in marine engineering is to perform a viable simulation.

Sea level rise anticipated from climate change, even worst-case, can surely be countered with dykes. Current Dutch engineering is well up to that task.

Given the location, any tsunami will also be traversing the site rather than coming full-on, so can probably be mitigated with diversion breakwaters and then dykes, maybe in multiple.

But of course they actually have to be spec'd and built. Just knowing that and how something can be done does not ensure that it will be done.

Peter. You are so miss informed or just ignorant.

Sea level rise is constant and not accelerating in an alarming way.

Also, f you build a reactor in a tsunami area without consideration of the possible surge height then your standby cooling generators will get washed away in the surge.

Pretty obvious really.

Interesting spelling.

Also, an interesting sequence of non-sequiturs. 

What it shows is that, if you play bots in the right way, you can quickly get them to spout out obvious garbage.

BTW, anyone who Googles "Ladkin Fukushima" will see a number of reasons why many people think I am expert in this subject. I was invited to give an SSS'12 Keynote talk on it. The paper is essentially the one on ResearchGate, but if one goes to https://scsc.uk/scsc-116 there is also a link to a video of the talk.
