wow

thats a pretty twisted form of statistical analysis right there.


counting the ones under construction, there are around 500 reactors in the world, with them only existing for the past 60 years. this is not counting the past inactivated reactors.

not counting the recent japanese events, there have been 8 "failures" that have caused $300mill or more in damage

and you are trying to transcribe that ratio into air travel? lol


edit: id also like to know what you define as a "failure" as there has been only one massive failure un-aided by outside variables. so in your analogy, a failure would be related to a plane crash, which would be absolute failure correct?

Chernobyl is the only recorded absolute failure due to human error in the known history of Nuclear power. 3 mile island and others were accidents yes, but not failures.

and to blame the Japanese incidents on the dangers of nuclear power alone is pretty stupid. there were a few.....extenuating circumstances there and a few safety measures that wernt taken for some reason that are in the United States.

it seems to me that you are just a forum poster that reads a post by someone else and thinks "hey thats pretty cool" and then runs everywhere spreading that post without really knowing anything about it. im im wrong then im sorry, but thats how it looks.
