As I understand the situation with NP if absolutely nothing ever goes wrong there is still the problem of disposing of not only the spent fuel but also the spent fuel containers? When something does go wrong (and it is as inevitable as air-planes crashing) then the problems all become deadly.
How is NP a green solution?

That spike in infant mortality is totally coincidental, Brian. There is no statistical correlation and it could've happened in any case and most likely would've. I'd be more inclined to put it down to environmental or social problems along the west coast. Pollution, drug abuse, or whatever. The fact that it happened when the Fukushima is just a coincidence and in typical media fashion they'd beat it up or make connections that weren't even there.
NP is a lot "greener" than coal, but it still has its problems. I can tell you now, nothing we do in generating power is truly green. Not even solar energy. All this talk about "green" power is nonsense and a beat up. The only way you're ever going to get "green" power without any perceived environmental issues (so far as we know) is to harness ZPE. But then you have to have an efficient and safe way to distribute that energy. Plus, we don't yet know what taking power directly out of spacetime itself will do so far as the environment is concerned. More to the point, how do you even extract it in the first place??. There's plenty of it there...there's enough ZPE in a space the size of a coffee cup to run the power needs of the entire planet for the next billion years, but what will extracting it do??
See what I mean about this "green" business.
Want to be truly "green"....kill off 99% of the world's population and then go back to living like the Kalahari Bushmen or the Aborigines. That's the only way you'll do it.
