i work at the nations largest nuclear power plant and it is the safest place i have ever worked. They are designed to be fail-safe. almost all of the equipment would have to be out of service for it to become a danger. maybe if you knew anything about the people who ran them you would think differently.

You don't have any idea of how nuclear power works do you?

@KillerJoeFIN Deepwater Horizon shows how "failsafe" oil is, too.

Fukushima shows how failsafe nuclear power is.

@0812201 Over here in England we use Davis-Besse in our nuclear profesionalism course of how it "most definatley should not be done"

The managers at Chernobyl should have called Barnhart!!!

if you worked during an outage and saw what occurs when management gets "steam fever" you would think differently about the crews. the built in redundancies have saved the country from a chernobyl on the hudson, james, deleware, atlantic or arizona desert for if there was a human way to detonate one of these plants one of these staffs would have managed to do it and still earn their safety awards

if you knew anything about the people that run these plants you would worry.

As the time is passing the need for energy and fuel on economic grounds is being felt. New industrial machines are being manufactured consuming less power & raw material and giving out more production. The nuclear reactor on the whole is also a move towards this need of man. If it is allowed to be manufactured by the countries having attained nuclear power certificates & an internationall inspection team for checking its non-disasterous production can work it'll surely help in fast development

Use of Nuclear Power for peaceful issues like generation of electricity must be dealt with co-operation and guidance. All the developing countries of the world if they can afford it must be provided with it to be an active participant in the developing industry and economy and enable them to reduce the supply & demand load due to the speedily growing world population and the needs originating due to it.
