David, Given what you have said about Canadian and German nuclear plants, would you be in favor of those types of plants in the U.S. for the majority of our electricity production?

Well, I certainly agree with you about American nuclear reactors:

<But that gets to your question of how safe they are. In fact, because of my distrust
of the human factor in operating U.S. nuclear power plants, I probably would not
want to live near one. There really is just no way to know if someone will do
something really stupid while operating the reactor.>

I realize there are two separate issues--ongoing environmental problems created by the running of a plant, and the possibility of accidents. But really, I want the name of a particular plant so that I can do research on it.

How about Sellafield?
