No human deaths? I think a few people from Chernobyl and Belarus might disagree. Projections for deaths from the accident are projected to be 60,000 to 90,000 people - depending on which expert you choose to believe. Also, take a look at their national forest that is now "off limits" and will be for a long time. 50,000 miles of land was heavily contaminated, but all of Europe got lesser degrees of the fallout. 20,000 acres that got ruined was farmland, and 30,000 acres was forest. Now,over 20 years later, land is still off limits within a 15 mile radius of reactor site. Seems to me the big problem with nuclear power is the existence of human error and corruption - that will always exist. Such error usually does not have large consequences - but with nuclear power, it does. I'll give you one example in the USA. I live near the Pennsylvania nuclear site that almost blew - e.g. Three Mile Island in 1979. It almost blew because of a huge amount of man-made mistakes. And, what did we learn from that in the USA? Well, there's a nuclear plant not too far from me at Oswego, NY on Lake Ontario.

They have gotten repeated "exemptions" to keep on using the place without fixing it.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction?
