how do you cool them if they are underground?


That was a weird thought I had when the Japanese had problems actively cooling the destroyed Fukushima reactors: :Could one build reactors underground, so that in the case of need you can cool them by gravity alone without futzing around with diesel generators and high volume pumps?

(I'm sure there are 500 reasons why that’s a bad idea)
