The answer to the above problem is to put the storage facilities underground, deep enough so that they will fill with water if SHTF without pumps or people.

Even if the water stopped(dried up), being underground naturally shields from radiation and explosion. If the core turned to molten it would burn down into the crust until the earths molten core was reached where it would not be a problem.



I have always wondered why they were not underground and I have always assumed it was all about $$$$$$
