http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/03/17/MN21841.DTL Read it and weep Stewart. 68 of these lightly guarded used nuclear fuel rod storage pools exost all over the US. Merely removing the cooling water will create a nuclear fire that will release 8 to 17 times the radiation released from the chernobuyl disater. That's from EACH pool!! Even one event would render a whole region of the uS ininhabitable for centuries. Is nuclear power worth that? Especially when wind power is nearing 2 cents per kwh. Nuclear power, including waste disposal and entombment, hidden costs, is somewhere over 50 cents per kwh? Who knows. Thanks to the nuclear "priesthood" everything about it is secret.
