We live relatively near a nuclear plant . I had see in person the effects of radiation specially in childs when I lived in Cuba and Castro bring hundreds of kids from Chernobyl and give them a better life to what was left.
Broke my heart ;(
Any security applied to these facilities are small to the risk they implied. Forget the president of USA... (fly straight to his orange tan head) but Secure these places because every one depends on it . If one melts down will take everything, millions of life , pain , forget about the country economy for decades . North America will never be the same ...
not just humans entire ecosystem and with the size of these now days entire planet will get hurt ...
Fly the toys somewhere outs and let the security do it's job . Who know how many alarms we had triger with the toys .
Ug.. Nuclear power facilities are the *safest* form of power generation (per kwh) of almost any method we currently have. It's safer then hydroelectric, its safer then wind, its *way* safer then coal and natural gas, etc etc. If we used a fully closed generation cycle it would also be one of the cleanest (but its cheaper to store waste on site and ignore it, so that's what we do here). Nuclear power has only killed a handful of people during the entire time its been around (with Chernobyl being the grand king of the fatal accidents, and that place was a dangerous mess the day it was commissioned). Hydroelectric killed tens of thousands of people in a single accident a few decades ago, wind has killed a few, coal kills them all the time (from mining to generation to pollution).
I'd have to write a book to explain all of this and honestly most people who are terrified of nuclear power don't care to listen anyway, but we don't need less nuclear power in this world, we need more. Wind and Solar will never keep up with large growing populations and economies (which is why India has said their building many many new coal plants to provide their people power). Yet modern nuclear designs can run off fuel mostly useless for bombs and other designs can even run off the waste from other plants creating a near 99% closed cycle.
