Default Safety of Nuke Power


i live within 50 miles of shippingport power station.


You probably enjoy reasonably-priced, if not CHEAP, electric power.


not true at all, pittsburgh had some of the highest electric rates in
the nation, untill a few years ago, duquesne light sold off power
generation, rates dropped, now they are headed up agan big
time.........

around here nuke didnt equal low cost.

as a matter of fact stranded costs were a big issue, and why
generation was sold off

no matter what you claim selling nuke, espically new nuke, and the
transmission lines that go with it, is going to be a tough to
impossible sell.

my katrina comments are based we are nearly all uninsured if a reactor
poisions a region.

claims will hit the fedreal cap, and that will be that. the power
companies nor the feds have the bucks to compensate folks for a
chernobyl sized disaster
