Reply #31: Nuclear is very clean when everything goes well.

And yes, it overall has achieved a great deal of success without very many mishaps. However, you cannot count out what happened at Chernobyl and you cannot assure that something like that would never happen again.

I come to this part of DU to learn actually, not to spout off. I've only become riled as of late because of what I see as a bully attitude by a handful of people that will not tolerate anything but utter adoration of nuclear power. I've seen people be berated as stupid and ignorant for questioning nuclear power. This has recently gotten worse and has really made the quality of this forum go down.

Also, I followed the links and they were just websites, not specific articles or studies. I'm not going to learn the machinations of a whole new website to satisfy you. If you have a specific link to a specific article, table, or study, give it and I will be happy to look. Just giving a website and handing me an assignment (as if I were your student) is not good enough.
