Nuclear Power In Perspective

SEE HERE Nuclear power is safer than all the other kinds of power generation as measured in risk to human lives. Nuclear power mainly gets a bad rap because of irrational fears and linkage in people's minds with nuclear explosions which frankly have nothing to do with nuclear power. This piece puts the risks in a little perspective. Adding up all the fatalities from nuclear power ever experienced ends up with a relative handful compared with fatalities from other power generation sources, especially dam failures in the case of hydroelectric. People need to get rational and get the data. The Japanese reactor dangers were blown out of all proportion just as Three Mile Island was blown out of all proportion. We should get more nuclear not less.
