Episode notes

I think that's really all of the rebutls to common concerns around nuclear. Having a nuclear power plan in your backyard is not dangerous. The cost is massively lower. You can't weaponize the fuel, and there are very, very few actually dangerous waste products. There is a substantial segment of this phenomenon where radiation at reasonably low levels is actually good for you.
