As the final precaution, the reactor and primary loop are shielded by a thick concrete containment dome, which should prevent the venting of any radioactivity into the atmosphere-as long as a meltdown does not occur and if there are no other mishaps or blunders.

A plant could, however, suffer a "meltdown" if it loses the water used to cool its uranium core, overheats, ruptures the core's container and releases a deadly cloud of radioactive gases. In the event of such an accident, people close to the plant would die quickly, while others, living as far as a couple of hundred miles downwind of the plant, might die later of radiation induced cancer...
...first and still biggest pleasure complex to sprout in the wilderness, in 1962, was the Kaanapali Beach Resort on Maui's west coast, overlooking the cloud-capped, green-velvet islands of Molokai and Lanai.
