Thanks once again, Jon. I've slowly been coming to the same conclusion,

most however is your caveat of being "run by a competent organization". ;)
Well, this is a KEY part! There have been a number of
operators who really were NOT competent, acting like a
nuclear plant was no different from a coal plant, and let
things go seriously out of kilter and just kept kicking
maintenance down the road. And, the early plants had MUCH
slimmer safety margins or ability to deal with breakdowns.
I still think water-cooled reactors just are not a great
idea, due to corrosion and the possibility of the water
leaking out under high pressure, since the French (and
British, too, I think) have demonstrated gas-cooled reactors.
