Re:RE:Why neculear power still matters
First, we don't need to develop "better" alternatives when nuclear power IS the best option.
Second, you can't blame Chernobyl on the U.S. The worst U.S. nuclear reactor disaster was Three Mile Island, and the radiation exposure from the radioactive steam released has been calculated to effect .05 people. The leak was so small that more people get cancer from weeding their garden without wearing sunscreen than they do from the Three Mile Island "disaster".
