I live near the "Hannaford" [Hanford] nuclear reservation and have all of my life. I worked for WNP-2 at the reactor for two years as an engineering student and have worked at Framatome, ANP for the past 7 years working with nuclear fuel.
Do you think that any of us living here don't know what happens in our own back yard? I would rather have a dozen reactors cranking out power, and have to deal with the spent fuel, than one more acre of those crappy windmills ruining the horizon.
And just about all of the waste problem at Hanford is from the nuclear weapons effort, not the power. For some reason people always lump those two together. There is a HUGE difference.
Have you researched nuclear accidents? It's a fun little trip into human stupidity. And if you think the Ginna accident was "serious" check out the Tokai accident in 1999.

Heheh...it's pretty easy, we deal with it to play games.
