How high above sea level are the nuclear power plants at Oyster Creek and
Salem?
 
What will happen to the nuclear plants if sea level rises 20 feet as
projected by various global warming scenarios?
 
Oyster Creek, Salem and Global Warming
 
Global Warming, Hurricanes, Floods, Gore, Flooding, Nuclear Power, Clean
Energy, Solar Power, WInd Power, Katrina
 
I don't know if Solar panels  will work when submerged - but they are
usually mounted on the roof - and they work even when the basement is
flooded. And a solar electric system is composed of a bunch of discrete
components which weigh about 8 pounds - as much as a baby - and can easily
be moved.  According to the guys who sell them, they 'should' last 40 years
- they are guaranteed for 25. 
 
Offshore Wind Turbines are mounted on pillars that rise up 3 or 4 miles from
the ocean floor to a majestic 400 feet above the surf. A 20 foot rise in sea
level won't make a difference. It'll  spoil the view - make them harder to
see, but they'll hum along generating power with no greenhouse gases, no
radioactive wastes, no mercury, no pollution.
 
Coal plants can be shut down and flooded like Davey Jones Locker or the
mythical Atlantis. It will cost a bundle but they won't explode or melt
down. 
 
But Nuclear plants? Those bad boys are hot - radioactive. What will happen
if they flood? Will they crack? Melt-Down? Will Avon By The Sea become
Chernobyl by the Sea? What will happen if they crack and release all that
radioactive stuff into the ocean?
