Two weeks supply per person isn't enough, when the electricity can be out for a full month after a hurricane. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it.

I don't > think a single person has been killed by nuclear radiation from a US > commercial power plant; There have been some killed in other was in the commercial reactors and some killed by radiation in noncommerical but I think you are right about that. There is however the argument that jumping out of the tenth floor of a building appears safer than jumping out of the 5 floor for a little more than one second. The waste made by the current reactors will be around and dangerous for quite a while and if that waste causes deaths, they would have to be counted. > TMI was estimated to have caused something > like 0.05 probable cancers.

They got the reputation because of the over promicing and bad management. The reactor designs are said to be quite good (not as good as advertized) but the construction was managed badly and the maintainance wasn't good enough. As a result the plants tend to cost a lot and go off line at bad times. If you are going to speak of coal mines, you need to also include uranium mining. That killed a lot of people in the good old fashioned way. It is hard rock mining. These days, coal is mostly strip mined which is safer. > > John |
