Actually Nuclear power is safe.... a lot safer then people think.

The effects of Nuclear radiation have been greatly exaggerated.

You'd be surprised what the research on Chernobyl and Japan show.

okay, im listening, please elaborate on this?

 

 

Chernoybl for example was expected to kill hundreds of thousands.

Actual deatholl so far.... 54.

Total expected.... 4,000... and even that could be overestimated.... since the people in the area didn't exactly have the best medical treatment and high cancer detection rates... and it's assuming every case of cancer is caused by the radiation.

In general the Nuclear attacks in Japan don't really show significant effects on the granchildren and in most cases the children of those effected. 

 

Plus, this is with the old reactors... new reactors are so ridiculiously safe... they have so many failsafes it's ridiculious.

 

If you look what leads to nuclear breakdowns... it takes like 6 or 7 catastrophic mistakes to blow something up.
