On the other hand, I do not trust for-profit corporations or the military to tell me the truth, no.
the rule of the people, oops, democracy, would not permit it to go forward
Let me remind you of something...
El Pais: Zorita demands another [nuclear power] plant (30-04-2006)The mayor and a majority of residents of Almonacid [de Zorita, site of the Zorita nuclear power plant] demand another plant in place of the one being closed today Spain is closing its first nuclear power plant at 23.30 today in a programmed way. The José Cabrera plant, better known as Zorita, opened 38 years ago in what was then a destitute comarca [county], ends its life two years ahead of schedule. he closure, decided in 2001 by the PP government , comes in the midst of a debate on the future of atomic power. Sheltered by climate changge, defenders of nuclear [power plants] have launched a worldwide offensive as Oil prices set new records. Among them [defenders] is the majority of the 800 inhabitants of Almonacid de Zorita, a village depending almost exclusively on the plant. They demand anoter power plant. Conclusion: NIMBY is bullshit, people get used to whatever they live with, be it wind farms or nuclear plants.

Neither the government, nor the industry, nor them have planned or adapted to the reality of "change". That is not about democracy. Our knowledge has surpassed our wisdom. -Charu Saxena.
You know, from what I know about nuclear physics I don't see any reason why secrecy is needed.
well.... that's reassuring!
i'd be more receptive if you had experience in evacuating millions at short notice, providing emergency supplies, and calming public panic in the wake of another chernobyl.
oh yeah, and since we were talking externalities and quantification, i bet no-one spends more analysing and crunching demographics and geography than insurance companies....you know where i'm going with this... ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
Assuming for a moment that we can have non-privately-run nuclear plants without any military (or other hierarchical security organisation) involvement, what about a for-continued-self-existence state company/bureaucracy? *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
