After the Fukushima incident..and a few others, the idea that nuclear energy is safe is a stretch.

Sure, under ideal conditions it may be. The problem is Murphy's Law. Shit will break causing problems...you can't protect the facilities from natural disasters...you can't out-build nature...so now we have a damaged nuclear facility and the only answer to dealing with the waste water is to dump it...

I live in a housing development built in the 1970s after the Connecticut Yankee Nuclear Energy plant went live.
All electric was cheap, but that changed real quick.

All electric HVAC/utilities PUDs all over the state (the rest of New England as well).
It was commissioned in 1968, ceased electricity production in 1996, and was decommissioned by 2004.
The reason for the closure was because operation of the nuclear power station was no longer cost effective.[


The plan failed, power plant decommissioned and nuke waste sits in storage next to the CT river.

O.K., but remind me - where do we put the nuke waste again????
What do you think they do with the fracking water?

Regarding the water used in nuclear fission, we should do with it what we do with all other things that was once considered waste, we repurpose it. The biggest problem is that we attempt to dispose of the water containing the fission products. We have to figure out how to use atoms undergoing beta decay which is what happens to some of the products of nuclear fission.

Second, we absolutely must invest money into nuclear fusion research. Nuclear fusion is what the sun undegoes. In addition to energy, the remaining product is Helium. Which is 100% safe. Fusion produces 5 times more energy than fission.
