Clearly that is not true, since you seem to have no fear. 

Nuclear power is polarizing. Very few people are neutral about nuclear
power.

Just like cellphone companies educate us about the best plans :)

I can also imagine is there were personal nuclear power plants, and the
do-it-yourself repairs to them that would inevitably happen. No way
could that ever go badly :)

And if there were a choice of brands, why not buy the Lada, it's half
the price of the Honda? :)

Thanks, I'll stick to pollution I can see, taste, or smell. I don't want
to wear a Geiger counter everywhere I go.

I'm not opposed to nuclear power, but I really don't want individuals or
corporations running them. There's no room to cut corners with nuclear
power, but that is what happens when it's all about money.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
