There are legitimate reasons to be wary of nuclear power plants. We've

some scares (TMI, Chernobyl), and I, for one, have no trust whatsoever in
the federal regulation of nuke plants, and very little trust in the
corporations that own them. Why should I, eh?

And several reasons why you shouldn't. Remember the first days of TMI?
Remember how we were assured there was no danger, only to find out it came
very close to a meltdown? And if you think anything had changed, how
about 9/11? Remember how over and over again, the rescue workers, and all
New Yorkers for that matter, were assured that the air wasn't hazardous to
their health? It turns out there were all sorts of contaminants and
carcinogens and many of the rescue workers are now dying premature deaths.

Interesting how we like to view the Russians as being secretive about
disasters in their country.
