It’s in Springfield… city of the three-eyes fishes?

Warmer waters, good for exotic fishes.

Oh, good grief. The nutjobs are going to have another heyday with this one.

Of course, they, the nutjobs, totally ignore the fact that the US Navy has around fifty nuclear powered ships that have ZERO pollution. And they also ignore the fact that not one person has been seriously injured or killed in a nuclear incident here in the United States.

Scare tactics. Hype. Lies. That is what the nutjobs live for.

Deering and Newcombe, You blew it big time with this story line.

I think nuclear energy is amazing! Humans, however, always screw it up.

A lot cleaner than Coal, oil fired, or gas fired plants.

Near a nuclear plant?!

How long since he was at the fishing spot? A power plant sits where the lake used to be?

I read at one time that coal burning plants tend to emit more radiation than nuclear plants. Pitchblende (Uranium Oxide) is in the coal ore — or versa vice.

And cooling towers are used by a bunch of other industries besides nuclear power plants — refineries, petrochemical, HVAC, hydro thermal plants; anywhere where fluid cooling is required. The largest cooling tower in the world is in a thermal plant in India. I seem to remember it as being about 200m (~650ft).

Looks like Three Mile Island, near my home town!
