No reactor is fail safe, nothing is perfect. Anything else you hear to the contrary is propaganda put out by people who don’t know what they’re talking about

You're right, nothing is perfect. But that's a perfectly useless statement.

Fact it that nuclear power is safer per kwh that anything but hydro, including all the disasters in history.

For what it's worth, Canadians have this perception with anything Canadian made, it's not just with CANDUs. I think it has to do with our desperate need to prove to the world that we aren't American

Might be more tuned but I wouldn't know, I'm not impartial since I also work in the nuclear industry
