WOW.
This is from the only country that has ever nuked another then claimed they did it alone!
This is absolute crap. Is it a Greenpeace vid? Come on, biased to say the least.
So what do we do huh? Live on windpower with ever spiralling computer, cellphone & other electronic power sucking gadgets?

When nuclear plants are people proof. They will be safe. People CAUSED the accident. They turned OFF the cooling water.
Also remember that US nuclear power is all unique. If one plant has a failure, the information cant help any other plant.

I know how much radiation people recieved from the "accident" approximately 2 millisieverts (200 millirem). This is bullshit. There's no way in hell that caused any cancer. That is not much when you consider the Liquidators at Chernobyl experienced anywhere from 100-500 or more.

After 1986 my husband had 2 go 2 a plant 2 test some plants for emc emmisions.@ that time. they feared then the same nightmare was possible from electrical failures. He spent time in the control rm under armed guards watching over his work. It was like the enterprise. He got scared from the alrms going off & this one man when they went off would finger thru a book 12"'s thick looking for what it meant. That didn't make him comfortable. Each person has its designated area U dont cross the line.
