Just giving you some background info so you don't think I'm some random idiot who knows how to use Google. Trust me, you won't have a problem here in the states.

As someone who works in the Nuclear industry and is exasperated by the ignorance and misinformation that the media and general public is presenting, thank you for giving some perspective.

Reading the comments section for the Nuclear articles at CNN makes me seriously concerned about the public perception of nuclear safety and the status of power companies efforts to build new reactors.
