So much so that as long as our government officials (fed, state, local) put these things in THEIR backyards first, under the white house, congress, senator & rep homes, etc and LIVE right there with them, children, pets and all, for the next 5 years - and no related lionesses occur, then I will go for it, back it and promote it. Until then, if the government isn't willing to put these in their backyards and live with them, then I don't want one in my backyard. Don't get me wrong, we need more power sources for our electricity addiction and hopefully they will be clean, but I just don't trust this in a spread out area across the U.S. - especially if we start releasing terrorists and other wack jobs into our streets. In my book, humans are just too error prone and nuclear energy just too dangerous (one mistake is one too many for decades) to make this trustworthy.

These reactors are actually very safe in the right hands. The only real danger is if someone gets a hold of the waste and wants to make a dirty bomb. I'm a strong proponent of nuclear power mainly because of the alternatives. Let's face it, solar and wind can't supply anywhere near the amount of power we need soon enough. Let's stick with the large traditional nuclear power plants. We can learn a lesson from France; they actually generate more than they can use! I don’t think this would ever happen in the US.

These plants can be underground because of their size which minimizes security concerns. This fuel is stored safely now and can also be recycled. If viewed rationally and not radically it is needed now and will help our energy needs and lessen the US carbon footprint.

This power does not contibute to the global warming. It is my understanding that due to the small size the plants would be underground to help alleviate security/terrorism concerns. One thimble of nuclear fuel is equal to a ton on coal and has no emissions. This fuel can also be recycled after years of production.

Even if the fuel is not weapons grade, it is poisonous to a degree that prevents widespread use.
