Sorry to hear about all that - sounds like you had a real bad deal there so I understand where you're coming from.

Agreed - S**t happens believe it or not when people cut corners. That happens in any field. But I just think nuclear energy got a real bad wrap. I won't argue that there are major risks & dangers associated with it but to me it's a still the cleanest and most efficient source of energy. A gas plant or coal powered central or even a petrol refinery will spew way more c**p around or in the air.
