Too bad USA is so far behind in the production of clean, safe nuclear power, see http://www.nei.org/index.asp?catnum=2&catid=352 Our Government regulations have shut down many facilities before they could go on line, Including WWPS 3 and 5 in my state of Washington.

BTW, I do know a little about power plants. Like all BSME grads at WVU, West Virginia Univ. we had to design a coal fired power plant, from coal delivery to electrical power distribution. At that time, the first nuclear plants were on line, and scheduled to take over a large percent of power production. Government regulations prevented this from happening, at least in this Country.
