This is a serious problem, yet it highlights the trouble dealing with nuclear waste, generating lots of radioactive waste in trying to get it under control, and some control/safety designs that we not thought of.
Like, why wouldn't they have enough Boric acid or whatever neutron absorber of their choice is on hand to dump in?
I'm not 100% anti-nuclear, I have been nuclear plants, Yucca Mt., U 238 mines, centrifuges and such, but we need to have a talk on the safety and design of new and old reactors.
