Host: […] What if the reactor were running in that type of situation?

Nuclear Expert Arnie Gundersen, Fairewinds Energy Education: That
would be worse case scenario.

If Oyster Creek wasn’t in a refueling and this tidal surge hit, it’s
exactly what happened at Fukushima Daiichi at that point.

You’ve lost off-site power and you can’t cool the nuclear reactor
