I find a lot of anti nuclear people have a limited view. Not to take anything from Berts qualifications and I'm by no means a physicist. The old throw away line of look at chernobyl and Fukushima are tired and irrelevant.
As for living next to a reactor? I grew up in a heavily industrialised part of Adelaide. People in the area already have high instances of cancer or other medical issues. Living next door to a nuclear plant would have me exposed to no more radiation than sitting in front of a CRT tv. Which we all did for 30 plus years. I worked at Roxby Downs for 5 years (above gnd) but in the nuclear cycle. So not a complete numpty when it comes to nuclear issues.
Unlike many anti nuclear people who just keep rolling out the same 2 arguments and nothing more, I do actually research the issues.
Hence the nuclear fuel cycle kills .04 people per terrawatt the lowest death rate of any fuel cycle. There is no argument when stats like this are out there.
