"And what if something goes wrong?" Buske asked. Nuclear power plants don't usually have small accidents. "If it goes bad, it tends to go really, really bad," he said.

Yeah, all those huge American reactor accidents despoiling the landscape. Killing the wild life and mutating our children.

Oh, right. Ted Kennedy has killed more Americans with his car than the civilian nuclear power industry in the U.S.

Never heard of Norm Buske or the Seattle-based organization The RadioActive Campaign, but notice the quote you posted:

"And what if something goes wrong?" Buske asked. Nuclear power plants don't usually have small accidents. "If it goes bad, it tends to go really, really bad," he said. "One hopes nothing will go wrong, but one wants to ... make sure it's all insured."

Is the author quoting Buske or is the author expressing an opinion or fact? I would seem to me that "Nuclear power plants don't usually have small accidents." is not part of the interview with Buske, at least since it isn't in quotes.

The truth is that most accidents or equipment failure at nuclear power plants are minor, just as they are with other power plants. Yet another opinion slipped in as fact.
