CarmelHP I guess if nuclear power is such a good thing then it looks like Japan and actually the whole World is worrying over nothing here.
Could we then equate this situation to the same thing as hearing about a car wreck?
Nothing to worry about at all. And nope, no chance of it getting worse, let alone ever happening again.
Freezing in our houses. Lets see....you have a woodburner? Or do you have any wood of your own on your little lot of ground up there in that suburb?
So 6 billion people are supposed to burn wood? That sounds feasible. It's that kind of Luddite worldview that keeps better, safer reactors from being built. We can't risk decommisioning older, more dangerous water cooled reactor designs from the '50's because we can't get approval or even test newer designs such as molten salt cooled reactors.
