Might want to point out to them that 17.9% of their power already comes from the 19 Nuclear Power Stations we have in the UK!
To adopt the standard PH pendant mode..... it's actually 10 Nuclear Power Stations, but 19 reactors, as there's 8 stations still active with 2 x Magnox or AGR reactors each, plus Sizewell B's single PWR reactor.It's also probably a bit less as a percentage now as well, as that 17.9% was the figure back in 2004, and 3 x dual reactor Magnox stations have been shut down since that date.
At it's height of operation, it was almost 27% of generation.

explain it? won't even discuss it
Then gracefully accept victory. Say something along the lines of "Ok then, I have won. Nuclear power is the power source of the future".
If they continue to talk down nuclear power ask them if they hate the sun since that's just one huge nuclear reactor.
Ok this I why I don't like it.
There was a kid at school that was the butt of most jokes, The problem was he was stupid. Not thick he just lacked all common sense. He is now living with the local female nutter, she has even tried to kill him a few times. Guess what he works at Sellafield now doing god knows what, something about sucking out the radioactive sludge from under some water after a problem they had a few years ago. Last time I met him he was telling me about some of the pranks they like to pull on the other workers.
There are some very clever people involved in the nuclear power industry, but it only needs one nutter to spoil it.

I think the fundamental problem with nuclear power is that you get power now, and waste that no-one wants for the next 10,000 to 1 million years.
That's a hell of a legacy for your childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, children.......
Dump it in deep sea trenches in the South Pacific like the French do. Or invest in breeder reactors where 95% of the fuel can be essentially reused.That's a hell of a legacy for your childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens, children.......
Don't France get 80% of their power from nuclear reactors? They've never had even a minor incident and they're notoriously workshy and usually on strike...

Dumb people work in petrochemical, as well, and cause the odd incident. Does it stop you buying petrol?The real Apache said:

The huggy fluffy brigade don't seem to realise that if we didn't have Nuclear, and more importantly with the older Magnox reactors all but shut down, and the AGR's over half way through their service life, the lights will be going out in the UK unless we do build more and quite quickly..........or start digging out more of our coal reserves and burn that.....oh, wait a minute, the eco warriers, don't like that nasty horrible fossil fuel either....

Can anyone explain the stigma of nuclear power to me? am trying to discuss future power options with someone in the office and they just wont even consider it, flat, no going there, zip
ooops, duly amended
I think your friend has discovered that Nuclear Power Stations produce large amounts of steam. As water vapour is the most abundent and deadliest greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, he's right not to consider it!ooops, duly amended

BTW: Sizewell had a great visitors centre that closed after all the terrorist threats - and (I thought) unbiased as well.

I'm tempted to mention that coal is a radioactive material
or that you will get a higher dose of radiation on the streets of Aberdeen than by standing next to a nuclear reactor Bottom line, its the sun, hurling out gamma willy nilly. Turn it off now, and we'll all be safe.
