"3 Mile Island, no radiation leak, no loss of life. Environmental damage minimal and has been repairing itself...look it up."

right... and have YOU looked up exactly how close that came to being another Chernobyl? Only a little luck prevented a disaster.

I have a bit of knowledge on this. I know personally the guy who took the 1st phone call at EPA from the 3MI site, and those folks were flat scared for 2 days!

It's very much like oil spills and tankers sinking...eventually, something WILL go wrong. But the results can be worse than any oil spill.

What we get with modern technological progress is a higher **margin** of safety. In some things, that's just not enough.
