There is an upside to this. New natural disaster scenarios will be added to
 the design limits  for new reactors. For example: An earth quake AND
 followed by tsunami that takes out the diesel back up generator.

 Another possibility is a cooling water stand pipe with a hatch
cover that can
 be opened and be replenished by a helicopter. Sooner or later,
 in the next 100 years, nuclear energy may become absolutely necessary.

In my opinion, nuclear energy is already "absolutely
necessary".  With world population expected to peak at 9 billion in
2050, we have no time to waste implementing an energy
solution.  Nuclear will also desalinate the water to grow the food
needed and hydrate cities.  (Cities tend to get priority over
farmers when it comes to water)

Or would it be smarter to do something to limit population
growth?   Ask the Chinese, they have been up against the problem for some time.

ZPG!
