Larry Foulke and H. Sterling Burnett - 2005 Mar 28: Nuclear plants cannot explode, used once fuel can be handled safely, and terrorists cannot cause a disaster. This article lists the basic facts about nuclear power plants in the USA, pointing out how safe they are. At one point the author implies that nuclear power plants have to be shut down due to age. While many accept this, I don't. They should be built to be repaired and used for a very long time. A second point also bothered me - the statement that plutonium from a commercial reactor could be used to construct a bomb. This is simply not true.
