I don't really know know much about the current nuclear (or nuculear, as bush would say), I cant give a very educated answer. But I figure if we have a safe way to store the waste, then I would say go for it. I think a nuclear disaster every century or so (we've learned a lot from Chernobyl, would be a lot better than our constant pollution of the planet with carbon.

But maybe I'm just being naive...

Never allow someone to be your priority, while allowing yourself to be their option.

i think you're probably right... as you say, a lot has been learnt from the first generation - Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and lesser problems here at places like Dounreay and Sellafield were all mostly down to original design issues in a previously unknown field. A lot of that pioneering work has been improved on elsewhere - for instance France are going to be supplying most of the expertise, design and components for our new stations, and I can't remember any serious incidents at any of their plants.
