I used to be pro-nuclear, but this is starting to scare the crap out of me.

You do know that the Fukushima plant was built 4 decades ago, right? Also there's many kinds of nuclear power, I suggest you look into liquid fluoride thorium reactors before dismissing all nuclear power as dangerous.

Yes, and yes. Still scares the crap out of me, because even though Fukushima was built 4 decades ago, we still have many plants in operation just as old.

And some of those plants are located in the Great Plains where we don't ever have worry about them becoming flooded.

Could still have an earthquake large enough to take out the the backup generators or disrupt the water supply. No place is 100% safe against mother nature.

Yep, but I was being sarcastic.

Repair work continues at Nebraska's Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant, so utility officials predict the plant won't restart until at least early 2012.

Omaha Public Power District spokesman Mike Jones said the utility hasn't yet found any major damage from flooding along the Missouri River but there's still a lot of work that has to be done.
