I have many thoughts regarding this. The main one I wish to stress right now is that you find your own information. Don't trust the media or the government.

When nuclear goes bad, it goes BAD. However, it's with us now and always will be - just from the spent fuel rods perspective. So we might as well continue to find ways to use that spent fuel as well as making nuclear safer and more efficient. It's the only way we can get out of this type mess.
