Mutant for Nuclear Power

Though nuclear accidents can be devastating, think about Chernobyl, and see this link, which I’ve pointed to previously, I sometimes have to chuckle at individuals’ visceral fear of nuclear power.  One of the ways in which I expressed this chuckle, while in the submarine service, was by wearing a t-shirt with the phrase “Mutant for Nuclear Power” emblazoned across the front of it.  I’d wear this t-shirt in Hong Kong, or wherever I happened to be aware that protestors would be be protesting the boat’s presence because of its reactor power.  Safe nuclear power is possible and it gives me a glow.

With that little story out of the way, I point you to a NYT article, which informs that there is talk of building a new nuclear power plant here in the U.S. It’s about time.  It might even be time to resurrect that t-shirt.
