Yet another religious cult raided

Flatulence will get you nowhere. . . except maybe get you a private elevator.
Let me show you something. . . * . . . (credit Kurt Vonnegut).

I will now appear to completely show what Pete is talking about...

...but only if the staff of Scientific American is considered to not have a scientific education. (I will accept the possibility.)

So here goes:

Look at this "fart of reason" from Scientific American:
Note the part that "not requiring operators to intervene" for generation III.

Note that the first generation III was built in 1996.

Note that I said that for me nuclear became safe "sometime in the 1990's".

QED #2.
No, I still maintain that in 1978 nuclear was not safe,

To prove nothing but wifful ignorance by repitition does not change the ignorance, nor make it less willful. Your post hoc establishment of "no humans" criterion is irrelevant, and also flies in the face of how many years of American, French, and British safe use of nuclear energy for power plants?

You ought to know better. The "don't need a human" is hardly the sole, or even necessary, criterion for the safe harnessing of fission for useful ends.

Or maybe the entire nuclear energy industry, global, is wrong.

Please explain to me why the North Anna plant in Virginia didn't explode and destroy counties in it's radius, seeing as how it was built before 1996.
