you know if it werent for 3 mile island, nuke power would be much more

True, but the reaction was hysteria from folks like you, not from any
reasoned evaluation of the consequences.

There was no measurable offsite harm, no onsite injuries. Nothing but
some damaged equipment. How many other industries can have that as
their worst scenario after almost 40 years?

but building something that can in any degree create another chernobyl
here in our country is folly.

Again I repeat--the LWR designs and Chernobyl have _nothing_ in common
other than sharing the word "nuclear".

If you had any idea of the differences, you would understand that.

And again, what was the accident mechanism in Chernobyl? Do you even
know what actually happened?

your statement that things are safe there except for one city shows
how little you know of the after effects.......

I made no such statement. If you want to have a discussion, at least
don't make stuff up and attempt to make me say things I didn't say.
This is the second time you've done this--to another respondent
previously I saw.
