Underground Nuclear Power Plant??

Check this out!!

I can't imagine next time 1 power station is enough to power the entire CCK or AMK for 40yrs at a stretch. No doubt they will bury it, but I cant imagine the implications if an accident were to ever occur.

SG is not very big to being with, even if studies shown that you can build deep underground and the earth would be able to contain the fallout, but can you ever be sure? Have you even purposely engineered a fallout accident to test the 'insulation'? Relying on data models is as good as guess-work!! Besides, even if you managed to contain the site, how else are you going to build another reactor nearby the failed one? Won't it also means with the potential health hazards of staying near a reactor, the property prices is likely to be low, very low.... ?

Hope NEA, PUB, etc will be able to turn to other cleaner source of fuels...
