Scientists are not always thinking through consequences in the real world though. Just the theoretical aspects of something. Theoretically I find nuclear fission impressive and amazing. Practically I see no desirable outcome without bad effects especially when coordinated by the private sector with their habit of saving money and squeezing out more profits every year. |

Bingo. I have no issues with nuclear power. I have an issue with the human component. Safety regulations have been continuously changed and been made more relaxed to keep up with the crumbling nuclear plants that are way past their design life and coming up on another extension.
Have a crack in the concrete? Increase the allowable crack tolerance. Have leaking radioactive water? Change the way the test is performed so it allows you to still pass.
