...or does this apply to roofers in general?

Also, are you suggesting that individuals who construct nuclear power facilities are never exposed to sunlight?

And, is every component of a Nuclear Power facility manufactured by companies abiding by US Standards of environmental and labor regulations (or better) or without the generation of toxic waste?

My original point was sarcastically attempting to highlight that there are no Nuclear Powered mining jobs. Nuclear is dependent on fossil fuels for the extraction and processing of its fuel which, just like organic fossil fuel (e.g. coal, gas and petroleum) is a finite resource.
