<<<Please indulge me for summarizing your scientific quest in a slightly sarcastic manner. You believe that all nuclear power is unsafe. You want to prove that this is so. Towards that end, you want to know of the "safest" type of nuclear reactor. By proving that the "safest" is unsafe, you will prove that all reactors are unsafe. Q.E.D. Good Luck! It's a very ambitious project and the logic is somewhat weak. I'm doubtful that your results would be accepted for any type of scientific publication.>>> David, I never said I wanted my results accepted for a scientific publication, although I don't see anything wrong with the logic that if the safest reactor is unsafe, then they all are. Perhaps you could elaborate on that. I approach this topic as an inhabitant of this planet, who is concerned about environmental issues. I think it is the right, even the responsibility, of all people to inform themselves as best they can, and enter into the debate on nuclear power. Obviously, however, it seems that the French nuclear power plants are working a lot better than American ones, over all. I am not an ideologue, and do often change my opinions when presented with factual information which is persuasive. That is why I encouraged a discussion of the issue here.
