      And water that is shielding mildly radioactive material and is not radioactive it’s self no less. You could swim in that water safely.

    What a retarded, fear mongering headline. Nothing even happened! A tiny amount of water has sloshed over the edge of two fuel cooling pools INSIDE the containment area. During a freaking earthquake. I’m pretty sure that is entirely expected and within operating parameters for a plant like this.

    Now I’m not really a big fan of nuclear power in general, but this is dumb…

        No. No they don’t. Oil and gas was supporting and were going to cornerstone the construction of a nuclear plant in our area some fifteen years earlier and environmental groups along with public outcry got it shut down.
