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.

They reckon that they're by no means as unreliable as people suggest. You don't get calms across the whole country at the same time very often, and when you do you kick in some other stations to pick up the slack. Some of the newer designs can keep generating at very low wind speeds.
