If something were to go wrong at a nuclear plant, it could be far more disastrous than something like a coal fired power plant. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Sorry buddy,
Thousands get murdered in the U.S. every year, thousands get killed in traffic accidents, people die from lightning, thousands, I can go on

Doesn't mean we shouldn't drive or go out of our safe houses. NOT ONE person died in the U.S. as a result of a Nuke power plant. Doesn't get better than that. What I'd like to know is, with such a great record, why are young people like you so spooked????

We aren't "spooked," we want to maintain it. It's tough and expensive to get the talent together to make sure things are done right.

Working at a chemical plant, I see how things can go horribly wrong because the operators did something stupid or forgot to do something he usually does. With a nuclear reactor, you want it to be absolutely idiot proof, which means adding a lot of security systems to make sure everything is ok in case of a failure.

Yep, there is no margin for error. Designing idiot-proof systems is really hard.
