Nuclear power is a real problem. For those interested in learning more, see www.ucsusa.org (Union of Concerned Scientists) - they have a map of US nuclear power plants with their maintenance history (not pretty). UCS does not see a safe, cost effective, secure path to nuclear power expansion. See also their report on nuclear power. Also of note is the recent Craig Severance report (costs of nuclear), Ernest J. Sternglass (Secret Fallout, 1982), Helen Caldicott (Three Mile Island and other issues), Public Citizen web site ('Five Fatal Flaws'), and comments by Amory Lovins and Lester Brown, to name a few. For even more potential un-investigated issues of great concern see Walter Russell ("Atomic Suicide", www.philosophy.org).>
