Nuclear power stations

[bunn]

Have I missed something? Has there been some change in the technology that means that putting new nuclear power stations on a small crowded island that is a target for suicide bombers is a good idea?

Why is it better to make radioactive waste than carbon dioxide?

I thought the whole idea had been more or less written off after Chernobyl.

Totally unrelated to the issue, Purring of Kjetil is obviously a character in a fantasy or sf novel. Though it would probably be written P'rring of K'jetil. He's probably one of those comic relief secondary characters with delusions of grandeur. Or, if Kjetil takes offense at that, perhaps an all-powerful potentate who looks a little soft and silly but is secretly controlling the world.

You think Kjetil takes offence at anything? It seems unlikely!

He doesn't show it, no. But every single slight is being remembered, and will be repaid doubly when he finally comes into his own as ruler of the world.
