Yup.... wake up! We ought to add up all the $ spent on the key nuclear plant accidents and figure out just how it does measure up in terms of being less expensive energy. ALL of the costs, including health care expenses and long term monitoring of accident and nuclear waste sites. Add in R & D costs.

Just in terms of economics, makes no sense. And utility corporations since 3-Mile island in the US are not jumping to invest in more plants. The ones that are proposed may never be funded and built. Good, these ought not be "shoe-string" projects.
