[theCandyman]

I am sure everyone alredy knew, since it has been in the news and all, but I have seen the link below become quite popular on the internet. The thing is, the same people that post this link, argue aginst nuclear power and start talking about researching subjects like cold fusion.

Anyway, I thought I would ask about the validity of this persons facts, just to check.

That is a "human interest" story and kinda thin on facts. Is there anything specific you are wondering about?

Nevermind that any sort of fusion IS nuclear power

there's plenty of threads around here with, amongst other things, Astronuc's and Morbias's extensive amount of information as to the realities of nuclear power
