>"but what about 3 mile island, Fukushima, and Chernobyl!"

For my nearly five decades on this planet, minus eight years living in NY state, I've lived within the 10 mile zone of two different PA nuclear power plants. I've grown up knowing what the siren testing meant and what to do in the exceedingly unlikely event of an incident occurring.

I've also grown up with great concern for the environment but I'm all for nuclear power (if the spend fuel is properly contained).
