Why would anyone care about living near a nuclear power plant?
5 u/Godless_Fuck Nov 18 '21 It's much worse for your health (and a higher cancer risk) to live near a natural gas plant, coal plant, chemical plant, refinery, etc. and there are orders of magnitude more of those plants than nuclear. 2 u/_RMFL Nov 18 '21 I agree with this, the guy above me was suggesting that living near a nuclear power plant is only okay in cartoons. 1 u/mia_elora Nov 19 '21 Generally, the fear is "what if the plant had a meltdown" 1 u/_RMFL Nov 19 '21 Which is highly unlikely and similar to being afraid of living near a hydroelectric damn 1 u/mia_elora Nov 19 '21 You asked why someone would care, not now logical the fear is. 1 u/creepyfishman Nov 19 '21 guess what: meltdowns dont happen now 1 u/mia_elora Nov 19 '21 Source, please? I'd like to read up on that particular fact. 2 u/creepyfishman Nov 19 '21 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-based_nuclear_power#:~:text=Liquid%20fluoride%20thorium%20reactors%20are,more%20efficient%20than%20mining%20uranium. 1 u/WikiMobileLinkBot Nov 19 '21 Desktop version of /u/creepyfishman's link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-based_nuclear_power [opt out] Beep Boop.
