I don't think so...this challenge smells of anti-nuclear handwringing and has got my back up somewhat. I'll try to relax for the sake of all the pro-tabloid-anti-science peeps.

I'm not anti-nuclearany more than anti-any other power system. None of them are perfect, and many of them need a lot more work and common sense put in.

indeedbut I feel that nuclear has been held back by misinformation much more than the far dirtier and less-efficient technologies. Government funding should have been much higher for the development of nuclear power, but the amount of misinformation about the safety and cleanliness of it has lead to many western governments rejecting power plant construction and putting less money into development.
