DAYS from end of life as we know it: Boffins tell of solar storm near-miss

EMP and nuclear meltdown...

Umm. Yes there are 435 nuclear power plants world wide. If cooling water is interrupted, I think meltdown begins right away, and then only the thickness of the concrete determines when it breaches and blows chunks.

I don't think we are ready for 200 or more simultaneous meltdowns. Has Hollywood got word of this? Because lots of doomer web sites have got this. When it comes to facing risk, are we really that dumb?
