> IDK if I agree with you on that one Wayne. Yeah some older reactors should be shut down and replaced with new technology. But I think the technology we have today should be able to make it safe enough. Nothing is ever 100% safe. I do think they should build reactors in more remote locations though. Just looking at that map in the past page shows most of our country’s reactors on the east coast and like nothing in the mid west… power transmission has come along way, we don’t need to be super close to our power sources.

They build them close to bodies of water for a reason.
