Long post, yet you did not address the OP topic regarding safety and cancer. Can one presume it's because you have an interest in nuclear power succeeding? Or that you don't know enough about the consequences of nuclear power (or have bought into the hype that they've told you it's safe so you'd continue to allow them to make money) to speak about them? Either are fine, just trying to learn where you're coming from.
...
I also shared a great [/font]interactive map of the nuclear plant locations in the country.
I have seen this topic brought up in other forums. For some crazy reason there are a lot of Nuclear Power Plants that do not get listed on these 'maps'. I have worked on three Nuclear Plants that do not show on your 'map'.
Civilian operated Nuclear Power plants are a minority of the Nuclear Power plants in the USA; not the majority.
Another topic [also not on your map], decommissioned Nuclear Power Plant 'cores' storage facilities?
Like the Nuc plant storage facility in Southern Idaho [FNL].
Also how do you feel about Nuclear Warhead maintenance and Nuclear Weapons storage facilities? Like the one in Puget Sound is called: "SWFPAC" [Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific]; and at Kings Bay: "SWFLANT" [Strategic Weapons Facility Atlantic].

Be afraid, be very very afraid of what might happen at some place some time to something....
France has 78% of their power generated from nuclear plants yet we don't see any abnormalities in their cancer statistics, why is that?
Their first reactor went online in 1964, almost 50 years of non-stop operations and nobody has gotten sick, explanation?
There are over 2.8 million people living within a 50 mile radius of 3 mile island nuclear plant, no sicknesses no increase in cancer rates since 1974... Explain?
Indian Point nuclear reactor on the Hudson river up from NYC, no sicknesses or cancer reported because of it since 1962, explanation?

Nuclear Weapons launch platforms?
There are other maps for that. Feel free to post them. I was simply listing one. I didn't think the average reader would read more than three links in my OP.
Because someone is concerned about the world they live in, and are no doubt thinking of what will be left for future generations (grandchildren), doesn't mean that they are being paranoid plwhit...when people care about something and question it's safety.... is that your favorite line?

#1, Yawn, your posts are like a broken record.
#2, I've already addressed your ridiculous remark. Please read the thread.
#3, If we do not learn from experience, we are doomed to repeat it. If my entire family is dropping like flies from cancer (so much so that even at my young age, other than distant family, I don't have a family left), and I battled it as well, only a fool wouldn't learn from that and make changes so that their children have the best chance from not experiencing the same fate. I plan to soon be a mother, if I'm lucky enough to be able to have children, and I can tell you that without a doubt, I will not be raising my children near a nuclear plant or storage facility. Period.
As far as I know cancer is more than likely caused by a failure of the genetically controlled personal immune system than any outside cause excepting some particulates and excess exposure to ionizing radiation. IMHIO the entire paranoia about nuclear power is a product of a decades long propaganda program sponsored by the fossil fuel companies. They saw nuclear power as a threat in the 1960’s and decided a concerted disinformation program to create unfounded fear would effectively eliminate the competition. These people care more for sales than they do for the atmosphere and all the people that have to breath it.

When they exhibit fear about something that might/could/maybe/possibly/chance of happening I think it's quite funny...
I feel pity for people who go around all their lives worrying about what might occur.
Are nuclear reactors dangerous? You betcha...
But most of the following are more dangerous/deadly than nuclear reactors based on death statistics.......
~ automobiles
~ liquor
~ drugs
~ flying
~ taking a cruise
~ eating at your mother-in-laws
~ walking down the street
~ sleeping in your bed
and on and on......
I wish one of you people would answer my questions:
