Well, there's always a possibility for a huge disaster, there's a possibility that a volcano might erupt, but people still live near them, there's a possibility of earthquakes in California, but I dont see it empty, there's a possibility of tidal waves in hawaii, but ppl live there..
We cant guarantee 100% safety with anything, there's always that random chance, but we can minimize it as much as possible, Like the article I brought up stated, "Nuclear safety has been excellent and there have been substantial reductions in operating and maintenance costs, worker exposures to radiation, and quantities of radioactive waste generated" I mean.. what would you rather have, few nuclear power plants producing a lot of power cheaply, with minute risk of disaster, or lots of conventional (fossil fuel) power plants producing power slightly more expensively, with a slightly less risk of disaster, but polluting the environment |
