Q... I covered the reasons earlier in the thread, especially those with regard to fuel type and auto/manual redundant shutdown mechanisisms (although spent fuel is still an obvious problem).

I kinda like the idea of AB. I had a chance to go there upon graduation in 1980. I was the first interviewed by ABDOT and they offered me the job when I sat down, ie, NO interview. $28,800 and all the paid overtime or time off in lieu that I wanted. I did the Masters Degree on an assistantship of $6500 a year instead... fookin idiot! But, when Mum leaves me, I just might visit you.
