Nor have I done so. However, we have had major nuclear reactor incidents in the past. The result was not the destruction of entire countries, nor evacuation of distant ones.

Overstatement and exaggeration are poor strategies. I won't engage in them, and I'll point them out when I see them. I'll also post positive stories like the one above. And I'll do that without any apologies.
