I don't see anything that should prevent SAFE use of the nuclear power. There is an understandable hesitance and fear of using it. But its like fear of flying, even when statistics show that its safer than car travel. Nevertheless we both fly and drive.

Hysteria can be overcome with good information.

Even the issue of spent nuclear fuel is overblown. The total space needed for secure burial of that really bad stuff is minuscule. It can be buried forever and deep in sarcophagus of 10 times more than needed size and still take practically no space.

Full disclosure: I never worked for nuclear industry and have no financial interest in it.

Dittos on all you say.

Nuclear power can address global warming, high energy prices and energy dependence woes ... and keep capitalism humming.

I think the nuclear power opponents are really opponents of the success of our economy.
