This man's responses to these questions are exactly what anyone who did their research would end up saying.
I maintain that the biggest problem facing the nuclear industry is the ignorance of general public. People fear what they don't understand, and they don't understand nuclear power. I have given many presentations as part of public outreach for my job, and cannot count on both hands (and probably feet) how many times I have been asked:
Q) What about terrorists making bombs from the spent fuel?
A) I would like to see anyone sneak a fuel bundle out of the plant alive and undetected.
Q) What about the 34723889490376237 tons of highly radioactive waste that takes 1457289384902028930 years to decay?
A) We already have the technology to reprocess the fuel and significantly reduce the amount of high level waste, and there are already storage options for what remains.
Q) People who live anywhere near nuclear plants all die of cancer at a young age right?
A) Come on...
etc etc etc. The list goes on and on. The reason people are so mis-informed in my opinion is that for every source of factual information about nuclear power, there are 3 sources that are full of disinformation that lead people to believe this stuff.
As an industry, if we want to move forward, we need to do a much better job of educating the public.
