Nuclear Power Is the Safe, Affordable, Clean Option

"Frightening headlines about nuclear plants do more harm than reactors or spent fuel"

In an earlier interview, Epstein made similar comments about the accident at Three Mile Island. Quoting the late electrical engineer, author, and nuclear energy advocate Petr Beckmann, Epstein explained that Three Mile Island was "history's only major disaster with a toll of zero dead, zero injured, and zero diseased."

That article is reasonable, well written, and uses impeccable logic. So, naturally, the left will reject it.

Speaking of TMI - I recently watched the Netflix "docuseries" on said subject - horrible stuff. The main antagonist, who was a navy nuke, should be ashamed of himself. Who knew that a head lift incident due to a radiation damaged polar crane would vaporize the East coast. GPU, NRC, Bechtel, all named as co-conspirators in the cover up allowing unit 1 to restart. The swabbo claimed Silkwoodesque actions were taken against him inclusive of planting some weed in his car.

It was terrible. They labeled him "Nuclear Operator" as if he was licensed and had him detail what lead up to the accident (very poorly and inaccurate) like he was in the control room.....he wasn't even in the state. This "documentary" is nothing but more fearmongering anti-nuke propaganda. The reenactments were hilarious and I'm quite sure they confused TMI with Fukushima.

We put it on last weekend in the break room to watch with a supervisor who was a tech during the U-2 cleanup. One of the contractors asked if Parks was here the day of the accident... that's how misleading it came across to have him speaking as the expert on the accident. Also, can someone explain to me what sister plant he worked at in Michigan that made him an expert? Midland was the only B&W one I could think of, and that was never completed. I was also really impressed with the boron titration methods chemistry used when they took the RCS sample. Really accurate stuff there. That bubbling brew was quite the spectacle. Overall, I like some of the archival footage, but the rest was just propaganda masquerading as a documentary. Of course there was mention of how U-1 ran exceptionally well for an additional 34 years after restart. Didn't fit the narrative of the conspiratorial murderers who had no regard for the local community.
