Chernobyl was built in a regular old metal sided factory building with shielding, but no containment.
#1. the same thing can't happen in the US, as we use a completely different reactor design
#2. if a major problem happened, it would be contained like TMI. The reports of radition from TMI turned out to be naturally occuring radon
#3. 100 bombs will not cause a nuclear winter. Between us and the russians, we've set of more than that.
#4. Nuclear power plants produce less atmospheric radiation than coal fired plants (there is radium in most coal)
#5. Nuclear waste is _less_ radio active after running through a nuclear fuel cycle than the uranium/plutonium put in. In effect, by running a nuclear plant, and mining the uranium ore, we are actually cleaning the planet and reducing radiation.

I'm confused. So you're saying, "Yes, dd74, I'll move down to Uruguay with you."
