Reply #2: Why would you want them?

Seriously, why?

If it is because you believe any of the following statements, you should probably reconsider.

A former NRC commissioner compile the list and identified all as myths that this for-profit industry has been spreading to undercut their competition - renewable energy.

1. nuclear power is cheap;
2. learning and new standardized designs solve all past problems;
3. the waste problem is a non-problem, especially if we’d follow the lead of many other nations and “recycle” our spent fuel;
4. climate change makes a renaissance inevitable; 5. there are no other large low-carbon “baseload” alternatives;
6. there’s no particular reason to worry that a rapidly expanding global industry will put nuclear power and weapons technologies in highly unstable nations, often nations with ties to terrorist organizations.
