Question by pete the pirate: Is nuclear power now safe – with problems of dismantling aged plants and containing leaks solved?
If they havent been then I feel we should not create more nuclear power plants. If they have been solved – however – then they are a zero pollution solution to global warming and expensive fossil fuels. This is a very emotional entrenched debate. It is important to know the truth. What is the truth?
Not to mention the problem of disposing of spent fuel.

Nuclear power plants have been pretty safe for years.
Just ask the French! Chernobyl was a weird accident involving a plant that was behind the times even then, AND the Soviets were running a relatively dangerous test at the time. Smooth
The production of waste simply isn’t as bad as often fictionalized(again, the French aren’t rolling in radioactive waste)
