“China Syndrome” was an exciting movie. A lot of people back then had concerns about where and how nuclear waste would be stored and the safety of the facilities. - The nuclear industry sent out public relations teeny bopper cuties with absolutely no scientific credentials to charm the public into accepting nuclear power. A very pretty and very young woman in our family was one of them. - When I asked how nuclear waste was going to be stored and where, she blew me off with a condescending chide that went something on the order of the following: “Oh, they don’t know yet exactly what they’re going to do with the nuclear waste, but they’re sure they’ll figure it out when the time comes. You DO want your children to have the conveniences that YOU have, don’t you?” I reiterated my initial question, but she just blew me off like I was some sort of an ignoramus.
If the nuclear industry is serious, next time, they’ll send out competent scientists with legitimate credentials to do their PR work. Of course, it’ll be an easier sell now.
I did not march in protest of nuclear power plants, nor did I lie down in front of bulldozers at proposed sites or campaign in any way against them, and I was under the impression that they had proceeded with the planned nuclear power plants back at that time - although I feel sure this woman will blame my sort for them not building them.
I’ll have to see some picture of the said nuclear cheerleader before I render any opinion.
