Aneutronic fusion is that is really good, virtually neutron-free, no radioactive waste. http://youtu.be/ro5-QYqqxzM

Yes, I've same opinion with the matter that Nuclear power is better than fossil fuels. B

This is exactly what i was looking for. Just FYI they are using/working on ways to use the radio actives wast to create more energy.

there is also the fact that in only three months nuclear power plant can be turned into a bunch of bombs or such.
if there is a meltdown in a nuclear power plant then the radioactive waste is so destructive that that part of the earth won't be normal for another 200,000,000 years; way longer than the human race will survive.
uranium is the main fuel to nuclear power plant and there is a lot of it in the ground.
the uranium disc is as thick as a quarter and only a little bit longer. there are a lot of uranium discs in each rod and there are a lot of rods in each reacter and there are around six reactors in a nuclear power plant.
one disc over the course of it life makes about 1780 more energy then one gallon of oil!
that's a lot of energy.
spent fuel is unprotected and out in the open where it is easy for terrorists to use it to blow up stuff.

The technonlogy exists and is safe...that is why we can rebuild Japan

"Over the lifetime of a nuclear power plant the cost of generating electricity is very low"

This is misleading because of the

1) cost of plant construction (you have to figure that in, industry does that is a big reason they don't build them.

2) cost of storing waste over its self life must be figured in (how long will it have to be stored? 1000s of years, that will be expensive

I think the problem with Nuclear energy in the United States is that we are dominated by the media and currently the media thinks that NUCLEAR is bad. Additionally, worriers think that if we reprocess our waste (producing weapon capable material) we are creating a greater availability for terrorists. Most countries using Nuclear Plants reprocess cutting down waste per cycle to less than 250 lbs a year (estimated on 2000lbs of spent fuel per plant per year). If terrorists really wanted this reprocessed fuel they can get it in Russia, France and likely couple of others.

Lastly, we need to more vigorously explore a process to reverse U238 to U235 (U235 being stable) there by reducing even further the waste that is so problematic.

I never stated that nuclear power is inexpensive. I did state that over the lifetime of a nuclear plant power generation is relatively expensive. That is a fact.

Spent fuel is indeed a problem and possibly an expensive one. However, including this cost does not make nuclear power prohibitively expensive.

Most importantly nuclear power is a lesser of evils. It is not even close to perfect, but it’s better than almost all of our current alternatives.

Relatively safe (far less damaging than coal power generation) when properly regulated, relatively cheap, relatively green. Sure you have to take care of spent fuel, but that is something that we can do.

In the long term I believe some sort of solar power generation will be our best option - right now I believe that nuclear power generation is our best option.

I have to disagree with the "nuclear power being inexpensive". If we ever stop using it we will still have to take care of the spent fuel and contaminated equipment for 20,000 years. That will be expensive. The risk that the ever increasing spent fuel contaminates the mass public is even worst and could not be priced.
