    I live less than 2 miles from the last remaining coal power station in England.

    I would much rather have nuclear instead of a chimney chucking god knows what into the air (and subsequently into me) for my entire life.

      Fun fact, coal plants produce more radiation into their environment than nuclear plants

      Modern reactor designs are so damn safe it’s insane

          Because the radioactive bits need to be handled by trained and trusted personnel because if those bits fall into the wrong hands they can be used for some horrible shit
