Three Mile, Chernobyl, Fukishima. Unless you can show me they were safe.
Also the Nuclear Plant At Kalama, Oregon was so poorly made they shut it down & ripped it down. The thing was such a piece of crap the legislature knee jerked outlawing all commercial nuclear plants in Oregon.

I have other duties, sometimes I am called away from what I’m doing. Don’t take it personal:)

Three Mile, Chernobyl, Fukishima.

Oh, good Lord, where to begin? Three Mile Island was 36 years ago. Fewer people died in Three Mile Island than died in Ted Kennedy's automobile (I worked near Three Mile Island at the time. Hey, guess what! I don't glow in the dark! I'm not dead!). Chernobyl was built by a Communist regime that didn't give a crap about safety, and Fukishima was caused by a tsunami. About the only one of these three you just mentioned that could even remotely be relevant to your original point is Fukishima, and I doubt a nuclear power plant in Kansas would be subject to tsunamis. If you don't want to live near one, don't.

And please, for God's sake, give Three Mile Island a rest!

Oh, and the Kalama, Oregon nuclear power plant you mentioned? I looked it up. Construction began on February 1, 1970 - over three years before even your frightening Three Mile Island Unit 1 first came online. Seems quite a stretch to haul out stories about a nuclear power plant built that long ago (Hey, Chernobyl was built in 1977!).

Nuclear power plant designs have come a long way since your 1970's horror tales.
