Well you're right, I don't know the difference between a russian one and an american one. I can't know everything LOL LOL. For arguments sake........., one of the california plants I believe is built right on the fault line. If there's a severe earthquake there, what happens if the plant collapses, and the chain reaction is going? Supposedly the plane that was crashed by the egyptian a few years ago is now believed to be deliberate. What happens if a flight FROM egypt is hijacked or the pilot is another nut, and instead of crashing into another WTC he decides to try a nuke plant instead? I understand the benefits that nukes have provided, however I believe that in the worst case scenario, the results will outway the benefits that people recieved. I don't think that people have ever really had an opportunity to know the entire picture, the worst case scenario, because I believe that information hasn't been given to people. I believe that if the entire story was told, all of it, then there might be a lot fewer people enthralled with nuke power. Can you tell me what the maximus radius of contamination would be with a total meltdown, uncontrolled? How many people would be affected...killed, made ill? How long would the radiation last? Would it affect the groundwater? How long would it take to dig up the dirt that was contaminated? How much would it cost? How much dirt there would be? Where would we put it? How long would it take to replace the power that was lost?
