Yeah its all about the perceived damage in relation to how close someone is to it. If you are in a non nuclear power plant, most people see the worst case as a big explosion around the area, lost of life in the plant and a blackout of the surrounding area.
With a nuclear power plant they just hear about Chernobyl, it's not about the safety factors in place or the lessons learned, its about what MAY happen and how close they are to it. Watching a tornado from a distance is just an awe of the power and destruction, being in its path is pure fear. Proximity..

I have been inside the plant many times no one there takes safety for granted. In fact I have seen more dangers associated with non-nuclear plants than with the nuclears. As someone told me today matter of culture. Jon On Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 9:14 AM, John Hornbuckle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: My sister-in-law lived in Crystal River for a number of years. One time, the loudspeaker system announced a warning. Only, she couldn't quite hear it. All she heard was, "garblegarblegarble IMMEDIATELY." Her first thought was nuclear meltdown. Come to find out later it was a tornado watch or warning, but I think the event shaved a few years off her life.

I was told that the plans to add 2 addition nuclear units at Turkey Point were being dusted off and there was talk about adding to the Crystal River site an additional nuclear if they could find the room. Man that would be fun, and I get to go back to a previous life and make more money.

Governor Crist has put a stop to new power plants being built, but not the increasing demand for electricity. A few years down the road, I imagine we'll be seeing outages on a regular basis if something doesn't change.
