The Power of the Atom.

[Pacifornia]

I don't like nuclear power simply because when it does fuck up, the results are catastrophic.

Just like Chernobyl and Fukushima. Too risky imo

[Fascist Russian Empire]

Nuclear power is the best power source in the world.

[With Teeth]

Nuclear power is sustainable, the safest option, and our best option going into the future.

So is NSG nothing more than dropping as many links as possible, without any elucidation?

I prefer nuclear power to coal. I'm a bleeding heart liberal hippy commie, remember? I like solar and wind.

As do I.

Nuclear, wind, solar, and geothermal are the best types of energy.

As long as the regulations are tight and everybody's competent, I wouldn't mind nuclear power. As long as other methods of power generation were being explored, and nobody lived close to the power plants. Nuclear power is actually arguably the most reliable ways to power spacecraft, which makes me love it a bit.

Nuclear power causes the fewest deaths per energy unit of any energy source.

[The Corparation]

Nuclear Power is the greatest power source available to man. Its one of the safest forms of power, and works rain or shine, 24/7.

Personally I think we should work towards ditching Uranium and moving to the Thorium cycle.

[Yes Im Biop]

Nuclear power (Fusion any way) I's good. Fission is just the stepping stone. And the 2011 meltdown, Well the U.S. Gov has raised acceptable levels radiation about 20% or more due to fallout still drifting over to Cali and infecting fish that we eat

Only things that could bring a nuclear power plant down is a natural disaster or the stupidity of those working inside. Definately the safest form of power

No more fish and chips for me then lol

I really wish I was kidding to.

Yes. Godzilla is also a hazard to Nuclear Power

Just like Chernobyl and Fukushima. Too risky imo

Cherynobyl was the equivalent of picking up a book labeled HOW NOT TO RUN A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT and following all of the steps inside. Steps like intentionally shutting down safety systems, and switching of warnings. The entire thing was preventable, and the series of events that led to the disaster aren't possible in other plant designs.

Fukishima weathered a 9.0 Earthquake intact with all safety systems working flawlessly. The only reason that it failed was because the emergency generators were in the basement and got trashed by the tsunami.

Sure it's efficient, we just need to fully and rigorously train employees to prevent these things. I'm just kind of wary and all, y'know?

Those two incidents couldn't be father apart. Chernobyl was the Soviets seeing just how far they could push a reactor. They found out.


The 2011 meltdown survived an 9.0 and a Tidal wave.

Modern plants can't Replete CANT do what Chernobyl did. Simply because half the systems are hard locked to not allow it and the other half are a hair twitch away from being hard locked to not being able to do that.


I still find it odd that they needed backup generators inside a nuclear power plant.

Holy shit. We have found out how momma had a chicken and momma had a cow. Better inform dad, let him know how. He might not be as proud knowing that his children are radioactive mutants.

[Lemanrussland]

Perhaps. Right now, many of the nuclear power plants in the USA are reaching the end of their useful commercial life, and will be probably be decommissioned due to the high expenses associated with maintaining them past their "expiration date".

The government has mostly facilitated the construction of nuclear power plants, awarding permits and such without much resistance. The problem for nuclear power in the USA is economic -- they are mostly not commercially viable at the moment due to the flood of cheap natural gas in US energy markets. Only a few nuclear power plants (I think 4 or 5) are slated to be constructed over the next decade as a result.

I am not opposed to nuclear power, I think the government should fund scientific research into things like thorium molten salt reactors, while leaving the decision whether to employ the technology commercially up to the private sector.

I've lived within twenty miles of what is currently the oldest nuclear power plant in the country for more than twenty years and I'm not dying of cancer.

My point is...what is your point?

didn't they use a carbon mediator instead of water?

ANYWAY He has a point. Even old plants are safe...Usually
