You know that accidents happen & they have happened before. Remember Chernobyl? We have better technology but still faulty. Did you know in 1996 a leak happened in Japan and was covered up and another big leak in 2002? Japan is 1 in technology in the world and they had leaks? Plants aren’t invincible. Three Mile Island was contained fortunately but still could have led to a deadly meltdown. Humans as well as machines are imperfect and accidents happen at these places more than you realize. In March, 2006, safety reviews found that several nuclear plants in the United States have been leaking water contaminated with tritium into the ground. 20 plants in the US REQUESTED potassium iodide so obviously they know that an accident may happen someday. Plants regularly release nice amounts of radiation into the air daily. The media ignores this.
Do you really want a Chernobyl to happen here? About 6 million people were affected 270,000 cancers and 93,000 fatal cancer, deformed babies exist. The risk exists. If one nuclear plant is attacked, plane crash, tornado, earthquake, full power failure, sabotage, or bombed the safety structures in place could fail coolant could leak, a water tower cooler that has been blown up can’t cool a reactor can it? The nuclear power production process can’t just be shut down in a minute with the push of a button. You probably thought it could didn’t you?
Nuclear energy is expensive, billions of dollars are spent on them, and the radioactive waste doesn’t disappear, the spent fuel must be stored somewhere. This highly toxic waste will take over a million years to become safe for living things! So are we to keep using it and making waste until we are knee high in radioactive fluid? Sure enough people will start to dump in your town secretly. So do you think that nuclear power is still the cleanest safest kind? I don’t consider the ability to destroy millions of lives with one crazy suicide bomber or pipe line break safe; nor a mass of waste that takes toxic enough to destroy all life on the planet clean. Nuclear waste is expensive, extremely hazardous, and the most unsafe source of energy man can have. Before you say anything, research it for yourself. Would you want a nuclear power plant next to your neighborhood? What do you have to say about all this? God didn’t save the victims of Chernobyl so why would he save any of you now?

oops.. sorry wrong section. I hate it when it puts the automatic category on your question.
