Have you ever seen what goes into the construction of the containment structure of a nuke plant?

I have...Up close...Nuclear plants historically are safe...That may change when we have our first melt-down...Or, the radiation leaks into the cooling water and then into a major stream or lake...

But nuclear waste storage seems to have the most potential for disaster...And like they say, never say never...

Although nulcear power is big in the rest of the world, America has been at a nuclear standstill for years...That's years of research and testing put on hold by the greatest engineers of the world (American engineers, that is)...

Actually GE has been continuing its research by building smaller nuke plants all over the world. I'm interested in the Pebble Bed technology, and my hubby, SirKit, and our youngest son, Joseph, are interested in Fusion technology.
