I'm guessing your on the east coast, so, do you believe that a tragedy such as the one that occurred in Fukushima with the cooling systems failing due to the earthquake may occur in the United States due to the hurricanes that tend to hit the east coast? If not, what measures do we have in place that prevent this, if we do, what are they?

What type of reactor do you work at? No worries, you don't need to mention the name of where you work, I just know that there's a couple of types here in the United States.

Would nuclear energy ever be made available to consumers in terms of powering small vehicles or commercial planes? The United States already powers submarines and carriers this way, would it ever become available to the everyday consumer.

Does the military monitor you?

No need to apologize, a very thorough answer is appreciated when a thoughtful reply is given. In other words, I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to answer it.

In other words, the "what if" is always thought of and plans are made to prevent it. My biggest surprise is that there are 2 off site facilities which would play into helping to prevent and off set such a catastrophe.

So, basically, we might never see it in hands of everyday consumer, probably for the best.

Now, your reactor must definitely be connected to a grid providing energy to a lot of homes and businesses. Do you think that the current way which our grid system is set up in which many states share the same grid should be changed? I look at Texas and see that they have their own, if we do change it and move towards states controlling their own grids, how would nuclear energy be the best answer for states to power their own grids?
