re: #225 Aceofwhat?

I’m not saying it’s proof of safety. i’m saying it’s proof that even the worst reactor disaster in history didn’t utterly damage the local environment. add to that the technological leap that we have in pebble-bed nuclear reactors, and i can find no opposition to modern nuclear power that isn’t laughable.

Pebble Bed reactors and other Gen IV Reactors are not quite ready for prime-time yet (maybe by 2020-2025 or so if engineering and research continues), but even the Gen III designs are far better than what we have in use today, which is still far safer than Chernobyl ever was.
