I was a teen at the time and now can only recall the initial hysteria surrounding the initial reports. Like most stories, it took time to seperate facts from fiction.

I wouldn't choose to live by a nuclear facility if the same house was located elswhere and just as nice. But from a safety point of view, it wouldn't bother me. I'd worry allot more about facilities in the developing countries than those in Europe or North America.

Nuclear has to have a future. They really have to get to work on nuclear waste though. With more and more plants coming, it won't get any easier.
