Indeed, if they take security at the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant the way they did in Kingston we can really be worried.

Nuclear is a safe solution if it is handled correctly. Europe gets a third of its electricity from it and France a massive 80 percent.

But here, safety is enforced. I just hope it will be the the case there as well…
