So yes, from a radiation dosage perspective, smoking 1.5 packs/day may be more dangerous than working at an N. plant !
I'd love to see you take some sort of engineering training, Alex.
Perhaps then you might benefit from an appreciation of the constraints imposed by the real world, upon unbridled thinking.

Hi Craig.... engineers are there to make the impossible possible.
Give an engineer a difficult problem and he is happy to hunt down a solution. Never had to use one myself but I accept the importance of their role in making things happen.
We already have neuclear reactors under water
in the form of "atomic submarines" and I expect that building a building under water is not that hard really.... access by tunnel (like the one under Sydney Harbour) in fact I can imagine in the public area we could have an aquarium which is really the lake around the plant.
As I said it sounds off beat but the more you think about the benifits the more I think the idea may be the only one that will save the NP industry... Someone else will have to take it further as I have many other ideas that I am working on not related to saving the planet
