Do you want one in your backyard?

The number of deaths related to nuclear plant accidents in the U.S. is exactly ZERO! A far better record than any other industry in the country.

Maybe you prefer to live in the dark?

The number of deaths related to nuclear plant accidents in the U.S. is exactly ZERO!

Three people were killed in Idaho in 1961 from a steam explosion in reactor SL-1 during start up.

No deaths at Three Mile Island meltdown but what has been the follow up on cancer and related medical problems?

The core of an experimental reactor near Detroit, Mich., melted partially when a sodium cooling system failed.

1953
Love Canal, nr. Niagara Falls, N.Y.: was destroyed by waste from chemical plants. By the 1990s, the town had been cleaned up enough for families to begin moving back to the area.

Yes - the accidents are few thankgoodness, but they do occur.
