In particular, they don't have the passive safety systems that might have helped prevent the Fukushima accident in Japan.
All this done, of course, as you may expect from Maserati, in the spirit of the most severe active and passive safety conditions.
"We see fatalities in the field where there's no evidence of contact with any part of the interior, " says Saeed Barbat, who runs Ford Motor's passive safety engineering department.
This type of passive safety system may sound simple.

The passive safety of fourth generation nuclear technology which uses basic chemistry to prevent the possibility of meltdowns does more of the same (though at a radically different level on the playing field).

"We see fatalities in the field where there's no evidence of contact with any part of the interior, " says Saeed Barbat, who runs Ford Motor (nyse: F - news - people )'s passive safety engineering department.
Each of the reactors will be a small, modular, 125MW advanced light water reactor, which at the present time includes a design for the nuclear core and steam generator to be located at the same site, with passive safety designs.
Rather than advocating high levels of spending and redistribution to compensate the inequality caused by economic failure, it planned to promote education and training and transform the welfare state from a passive safety net to an active 'springboard' of opportunity (Annesley, 2001, 204).
The Japanese nuclear accident has come at a delicate time for the nuclear-power industry, growing globally, for the first time in decades as a new generation of "passive" designs is being embraced as offering more safety.
The passive feature means they rely less on electrically driven pumps and valves, for safety, and more on systems designed to shut down plants safely in emergencies and to prevent operator error.
The model Southern is building, the AP1000, is totally new, with safety systems powered by gravity instead of electricity, a so-called passive design.
