I agree that RBMK reactors are not as inherently safe as light water reactors. However, I do consider nuclear to be a clean technology, so long as safety issues are well addressed. In the case of light water reactors, you have a negative coefficient of reactivity, gravity-based failsafes, layered containment, and a federally mandated continuous maintenance regimen that has learned from our own worst-case scenerio (Three Mile Island).
There are a total of three reactors in the world right now that can have a chernobyl-like accident, and they're all russian-owned. Nothing even approaching that complete buildchain disaster has or can occur in any US, French, Canadian, or Chinese reactor thus-far built or proposed.
Chernobyl was a combination of positive coefficient of radioactivity and lack of containment vessel, both concerns that the US had solved before RBMKs were even built.
It'd be nice if you substantiated that. If nuclear energy were poision, it'd have a goodly number of deaths per year, right? Quote me a number. I dare you.
Areva satisfactorily recycles the spent fuel used in France, where they have sane nuclear regulation. Their actual waste backgrounds in under 300 years.

I am convinced that US Nuclear is clean.

So you agree that stuff is not clean...

@Fordi You're not living close to Chernobyl, for sure...

Could've learned something if this was in a real language.
