You should probably reread my post. The safety and reliability of these nuclear power sources has not really been tested on a long term, real world basis.

A nuclear meltdown or incident involving nuclear material, even a small one, is always a real danger. At a place I once worked, there was a small experimental nuclear reactor that had a meltdown. As a result, radioactive fallout was spread through the air and through groundwater to contaminate a large surrounding area. The cases of cancer in the surrounding community is abnormally high, and a lot of former employees came up with an inordinate number of cases of a particular type of leukemia. It's not something to take lightly.

Which place??? Which company? What “inordinate number”? I’ve heard such scare stories so often from the gangGreen that I have zero trust in your vague claims without further infos.
