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.

In Holland, apparantly, they have a system for recycling disposable nappies to create energy/fertilizer/paper; I wish they'd introduce that here, since I have reluctantly abandoned the idea of washable nappies as impractical for me at this time, and am feeling bad about the land-fill volume.
