[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3369006, member: 5412"] The issue with nuclear is waste. Some of the half life of isotopes is into the millions of years, then another millions of years to completely deplete it. Waste has to be transported. Typically now its by rail to Yucca Mountain in Nevada. Nobody wants waste to be transported through their states and Nevada doesn't want it stored there in fear of earthquakes or other disasters that might expose it. Otherwise Nuclear Power is as you described. I've been to a nuke power plant in Cleveland Ohio for training in the EHC hydraulic system that operates the huge high pressure valves to shut down a turbine due to a fault. Two redundant plants were built and only the first was commissioned because of public lawsuits so they use the second as a training area. Everyone within a 25 mile radius of the Perry power plant is given the option of a radiation prevention program using blockers and medicine so they can evacuate in event of a failure. Would you be confident in the safety if they came around and offered you that package when moving into a new home? The ruskie's screwed the pooch at Cherenoble with a poor design. 3 Mile island in the US also screwed the pooch when they failed to listen to their techs. The instruments told the operators one thing but the techs in the control system said that wasn't possible and advised the opererators to go another route and they refused. The techs were correct. It was bad instrument readings that caused the issue in a short story. Lots of conspiracy stories out there, but that is the bottom line. [/QUOTE]
