Not old enough for when it happened, but old enough that it was a well discussed topic in grade school science class. I would bet that most of today's 6th grade science teacher don't even make mention it.

I would have no problem with it. I see no risk of any US plant having an accident that would affect residents near the plant at all, thanks to stringent regulations and well design plants. I know personally two engineers who work in a nuclear plant and have considered working in the field myself.

I believe it has a future in America, and hopefully the world, but sadly not for another decade or two. I think current administrations are too worried about the waste disposal problems and public backlash to clearly make decisions on the matter, and most of the public is not at the education level to understand the amazing benefits of nuclear power as we have it today.
I find clean, widespread, and safely engineered nuclear power to be a major step in the advancement of this nation and view it as a potential to 'get ahead' of other countries, like China, who are still using abundant coal power.
