Greenpeace on the roof

vl - that's a crap counter argument. so it has to be cooled? who cares. i am sure they don't take any risks wrt geological movements. they know what they're doing. don't worry yourself about that.

it wasn't a counter argument - just a comment that it is not simple. in theory it is possible for nuclear fission to be fine, just i don't trust people to do it right 100% of the time, people are fallible, just look at the nuclear accidents there have been with the few plants in the world (chernobyl, three mile island), if there are more, there will be more accidents.

if all the safeguards are in place it is fine, but i do not have faith in humanity's ability to sufficiently plan for nuclear disaster.

for the record, i am a physicist in training and radioactivity is one of my favourites.
