So Bob, do you believe there is no such thing as a safe nuclear reactor?
Or a worthwhile application for radioactive material?

Richard,
Well why
make smoke detectors that emit radioactivity then when safer alternatives that
work just as well exist? They used to make watch dials from radium until
they realized that people were recieving radiation from them that was
potentially dangerous. To this day fertilizer is made from uranium
tailings used to grow tobacco. Every time you smoke a pack of cigarettes
you get the equivalent amount of radiation of one chest x-ray. This is
insane... yet it is done on a massive scale. My point is this...
radioactivity belongs IN THE GROUND where it has it's natural uses. It
does NOT belong above the ground in anything... including nuclear reactors
(remember Chernobyl?), DM munitions (depleted uranium causing cancer and
genetic
defects in those populations exposed such as found in Iraq). Where
radiation is found naturally above the ground it is ALWAYS considered
dangerous.
