Thanks for the response. We often forget that nukes actually have a good (to excellent) track record. Yes, some of the failures have been spectacular. I think dialogs like this help, people get educated (mostly). It's hard to gain confidence in institutions that, I believe, could have treated the populous to a better dialog (I think folks would have supported nukes if the discussion had been more open). Having lived 'down wind' from the twin sisters at Zion Illinios where, for some years, their operational record was not so good (aec kept them from running to spec and getting 'hot', so that worked pretty well). I certainly don't believe that full fusion power has no potential problems. I also believe that they can be made as safe as our will requires. Again, thanks for the feedback.
