1. I don't know if it's just a cultural thing...

...but Dr. Kaku comes across as almost giddy talking about the potential for disaster. :crazy:

2. That's always his manner. Probably one of the reasons He's a media wonk.

3. It's physics and like most physicists he gets excited when he gets to talk about it

4. No it's a physicist/scientist thing. Unusual event are exciting to scientist.

5. I turn in to CNN a few hours after this and they had an nuclear engine or probably a shill saying

The radiation levels around the plant the exploded was not high enough to be a melt down and the Japanese plant certainly isn't going to melt down. I'm not sure were he pull the radiation levels numbers out off.

Then he waxed on about how this could never happen in a USA nuclear power plants. And how modern nuclear power plants you could take the coolant right out and they would fail safe on there own. Aaah ha aaah ah. And some how I didn't believe him.

The Japanese plant is a different kind of plant from Chernobyl. The Chernobyl one was graphite moderated core and the graphite holds in more heat and is more likely to blow up but that doesn't make the other kinds fail safe XD
