Nuclear power is a dirty technology which contaminates everything it contacts.
The contamination begins before a reactor goes on line with the mining of uranium and processing of ore into fuel. Once operational, this waste is both stored on site for shipment to contaminate another community or released to the adjacent environment. No amount of radiation exposure is safe. The dangers of routine exposure to radiation have been largely ignored. The public's anxiety concerning nuclear power has been directed toward the accident and whether safeguards are effective.
