Nancy, I agree that (ionizing) radiation is harmful, so we need to build safe, clean nuclear plants like France has done. Once they found a good design, they stayed with it. We started from scratch with each new design. The Chernobyl plants were poorly designed and maintained.

If we are going to maintain the life style that we have now, we have to generate a lot of electricity. Coal and other fossil fuels pollute (and release some radiation) and add enormous amounts of CO2. Hydro damns up rivers, and most of those are already done. Geothermal has a lot of corrosion problems. Using wind, we would have to have windmills everywhere. I like solar and conservation, but we have a long way to go there yet. In the meantime, I would choose nuclear.
