Interesting stuff, Jon. Didn't know about the ongoing cleanup at Three Mile
but it doesn't surprise me. Now I'm going to put you on the spot. Given our
current need for carbon-free energy, do you see nuclear as a viable option?
Yes! If a properly designed and built nuclear plant is run
by a competent organization, I think they make a lot of
sense. The French have been using nuclear power almost
exclusively for 40 years, and their plants are WAY more
modern than ours. They use a lot of gas-cooled reactors,
which solve a WHOLE bunch of potential problems (loss of
coolant and corrosion, mostly) and those have been doing
just fine for years.
We ought to rethink nuclear, and start using the newest
technology. While it is not totally clean or risk-free, it
is a lot cleaner than coal (which ALSO releases
radioactivity into the atmosphere).
