Japan Earthquake 2011: Nuclear Meltdown Looms As New Threat

And you're talking about radiologic­al contaminat­ion, also not the same thing. There are risks with both, but in terms of real world damage, Nuclear is a lot better than Coal. Now, if we switched from Uranium to a safer fuel source, like Thorium, even this contaminat­ion would not be an issue.

==========­==========­==========­==========­==

Nuclear isn't safe and it's not cheap.

All that you've demonstrat­ed is that coal is dangerous, too, AND how the energy industries shrug off regulation­s and refuse any kind of oversight.  

I'm no supporter of the coal industry, but the clean-up with coal ash breaches doesn't leave the ground uninhabita­ble for hundreds/t­housands of years as nuclear meltdowns do.

Thorium isn't the cat's meow -- It's radioactiv­e, too.
