46. The nearest nuclear power plant to me..

The nearest nuclear power plant to me would b e Diablo Canyon, about 150 miles away.

However, I live 1/4 mile away from a nuclear weapons laboratory. The nuclear power plants are designed not to blow up.

The nuclear weapons are designed to blow up and destroy entire cities and metropolitan areas. I have no qualm at all about living so close to a nuclear weapons laboratory at all.

That's because I know the science, and I know what Mother Nature permits to happen and what she forbids. That's an advantage that very few here have; so they always seem to be afraid of things that can't happen.
