I'd probably live near a nuke plant. My dad spent a little time on Fast-Attack nuclear subs when he was in the Navy.

I've done a little reading about Chernobyl. I should find a couple of books and do some more reading, this is interesting stuff.
Our senior engineering Nuke course was designed so that, by the end, we could truely understand what happened at Chernobyl.
