re: #269 sattv4u2

Take me to task over the whole statement, not just a part of it:

But there is not a single plant in the world that is 100% safe from a disaster that could greatly exceed the amount for which it insured.

Ther are limits to what can go wrong if a conventional power plant expereinces a catastophic faillure. These can be covered by current liability limits. The potential for damage from a nuclear plant is considerably greater and potentially not covered by existing liability limits.
