Years ago, my brother worked at a nuclear power plant in Shippingport, PA. Once the company held an open house where the public could tour the plant, watch a couple of short films and get a lecture about nuclear power. I was convinced from that open house that nuclear power was safe and a viable source of energy. Unfortunately, the enviro-whackos don't see it that way.

Let’s say “can be safe”. There are more than one examples where it was not.

I remember when our local coal fired power plant opened in 1979. There was an “open house” and many of the people touring were terrified that the plant might blow up and wipe out NW Arkansas and NE Oklahoma.

Of course, TMI was on everyone’s minds. Our plant supervisor told us NOT to go see it, so we went. So many things they got wrong in the movie!
