Sorry, but nukes are clean and safe. Sure people have died from nukes, but millions have died from producing coal for plants. Why do we build coal plants and not nukes? Because people don't care if OTHERS die, if 100,000 people a year die from digging coal they are not in your community, that is better then the risk to THEM however small. You should look at the numbers of people in the US that die powering coal plants and the number that have died in coal fired plants. ><> Nathan Stratton CTO, Exario Networks, Inc.
