There are serious questions about the older generation of nuclear plants, and the next generations shares many of the same problems. This design has great promise but we need to know what risks are involved, and what the system costs to bring it on line.
My parents led the opposition to the siting of Maine's first nuclear plant, Maine Yankee. After Three Mile island and Chernobyl I spent 5 years working full time to shut Maine Yankee down. We didn't succeed with three referendum campaigns but the plant owners finally decided to shut it down ten years before its license expired because its maintenance problems were compounding and it was no longer competitive with alternative sources of power.
John on the Sunset Coast-
You should know that in addition to Luddites, there are well informed people who raise questions about the safety of nuclear power. And there are generations who will suffer from being exposed to nuclear power plant accidents.
