Dissipation will be by the inverse square law so at 1000 miles from the
plant it will have a concentration of only 1 millioneth of the
concentration
at the release site.


It's a popular thought in the environmental impact world that the
"solution
to pollution is dissolution" or something like that. And, of course,
that's
wrong. On its 1000 mile (more actually) trip to infinitesimal
measurement,
how much impact did it have along the way?


Nuclear technology is not complex. It's relatively simple in fact.


Another favorite thought. Yeah, in basis theory, the technology is not
complex. Everything on paper looks great.

The only way to eliminate all pollution is to eliminate the human race.
Since that is not a reasonable solution, it is up to people to develop
energy supplies and attach the appropriate safety requirements without the
emotional baggage caused by fear. To date, the nuclear industry has had a
much better safety record than many other industries and we have the ability
to make it even safer yet. Right now the irrational fears about nuclear
power are standing in the way of collecting the data that will prove it
either safe or dangerous and developing an appropriate energy action plan.
What data does get collected is buried on the back of the last page at the
bottom of the last column of the newspaper or doesn't even make it into the
paper unless it is something that they can sensationalize.
