I really hate to go into this because I'll probably be drawn and quartered but many moons ago I used to be a nuclear engineer for the Bechtel Corporation.  In those days we developed something called SNUPPS or the standard nuclear unit power plant system.  It was a pre-designed unit with all the documentation in a fill-in-the-blanks format.  I used to get together with the French and German counterparts to do the same in France and Germany.  Japan already had a program based on the Mitsubishi reactor on which I consulted at one time.  If anyone should fear nuclear power it should be Japan but they've embraced it completely becasue or their limited natural resources.  France and Germany both are building capacity all the time.  The US knuckled under to special intrest groups and stopped siting new power plants after 1972.  I keep hearing rumors that we may try again.  OK Let the flames fly!
