1 " I dispute the point that nuclear energy is 'clean' and 'cost-effective'. As I recall, when we first harnessed nuclear power it was to drop an atom bomb on a civilian population, not to save the environment. However, you must admit, the victors are never tried for war crimes. "
― E.A. Bucchianeri , Brushstrokes of a Gadfly, (Gadfly Saga, #1)
2 " At that time my notions of nuclear power were utterly idyllic. At school and at the university we'd been taught that this was a magical factory that made " energy out of nothing," where people in white robes sat and pushed buttons. Chernobyl blew up when we weren't prepared. "
3 " In shuttering Yucca Mountain, Obama makes it extremely likely that nuclear power in the United States will continue its long, slow, and extremely welcome death. "
4 " Every dollar spent on nuclear is one less dollar spent on clean renewable energy and one more dollar spent on making the world a comparatively dirtier and a more dangerous place, because nuclear power and nuclear weapons go hand in hand. "
5 " All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk. "
― Ronald Reagan
6 " A nuclear power reactor is just a fancy way of boiling water. "
7 " Today, nuclear power provides 20 percent of power in the United States. "
8 " The oil companies regard nuclear power as their rival, who will reduce their profits, so they put out a lot of disinformation about nuclear power. "
9 " The world has today 546 nuclear plants generating electricity. Their experience is being continuously researched, and feedback should be provided to all. Nuclear scientists have to interact with the people of the nation, and academic institutions continuously update nuclear power generation technology and safety. "
