[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 3762263, member: 27098"] Actually modern reactor designs (3MI was from the 50's) are actually very, very safe. Check out Pebble Bed Reactors or Molten Salt Reactors. The geometry prevents meltdowns. As for traditional NPP's, the US Navy has never had a meltdown of any of their sea based systems that run at extremely high power levels (they have operated 100's of reactors at sea). Comparing US Commercial NPPs to russian NPPs is not apt, since up until Chernobyl, the russians never had a containment buildings like US reactors. I would welcome a NPP over solar farms and windmills. We need fission power to begin the next step which would be fusion reactors. The only waste produced in a fusion reactor would be the reactor vessel itself that would have years of neutron bombardment. [/QUOTE]
