The radiation released at TMI equaled 15 roentgens, compared to 1.5 million roentgens at Chernobyl.
Nuclear power is the key to reducing fossil fuel emissions and to achieving less dependence on unstable countries and their unreliable supplies of oil.

I just finished a book - 'Shaitan's Fire' by Jake Thoene - about terrorism and a nuclear power plant. I don't know how accurate it was, but the terrorist was Islamic. At least that much was real.

Good, sensible article.
I've lived about 8 miles from Indian Point for most of my life and hardly give it a thought.

I worked at a nuclear power plant in Illinois for eight years. Although I left the industry seven years ago, I have absolutely NO reservations about expanding nuclear power. I do, however, have a deep hatred for electric utility companies (wasteful socialist money grabbers). I have always believed that a genuine intelligent environmentalist/conservationist would firmly embrace nuclear power. Long term spent fuel storage/reprocessing is the major technological issue...but definitely solvable.

At Indian Point? The mafia would never let it happen.
