I like nuclear power as a technical solution and I am not worried about
waste and accidents but there is one big problem - any eco-terrorist or
suicide bomber with a few tons of high explosive could drive up to a power
plant and make the surrounding 1000+ sq miles unlivable for the next couple
hundred years. Unfortunately, in assessing any technology we have to
consider the potential for malicious attacks.
