Truth to Power
Nuclear Power Is Extremely Safe — That’s the Truth About What We Learned From Japan – FoxNews.com
To think rationally about nuclear safety, you must identify the whole context. As the late, great energy thinker Petr Beckmann argued three decades ago in his contrarian classic “The Health Hazards of NOT Going Nuclear,” every means of generating power has dangers and risks, but nuclear power “is far safer than any other form of large-scale energy conversion yet invented.”

AP IMPACT: Tritium leaks found at many nuke sites – Yahoo! News
While most leaks have been found within plant boundaries, some have migrated offsite. But none is known to have reached public water supplies. …
At three sites — two in Illinois and one in Minnesota — leaks have contaminated drinking wells of nearby homes, the records show, but not at levels violating the drinking water standard.
“The public health and safety impact of this is next to zero,” said Tony Pietrangelo, chief nuclear officer of the industry’s Nuclear Energy Institute. “This is a public confidence issue.”
