Can someone elaborate on how the risk of military attacks to nuclear powerplants is usually accounted for?
During the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, I remember a great fuss around the shelling of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plan. It was argued a disaster on the magnitude of chernobyl would be impossible, but I'm unaware of the technical aspects involved and some people were still very afraid.
If nuclear (be it large or SMR) is to become commonplace, what kind of risks are involved in these attacks?
I wonder if, should the tech to create gamete-less, womb-less embrios becomes available, governments would step in to guarantee population control by birthing and raising these children themselves.
Very Brave-New-Worldly, I know, but if incentives are high enough...
The ethical debats would be galore, from diversity of representation in education and ethnical composition, to necessary genetical diversity, to the ammount of modifications that should be warrented.
I also wonder if should this day come, if birth rates will be treated as a Central Bank's "interest rate" of sorts, but instead of the price of money, it would be optimized to reflect the price of human lives.
