Consumers of products, services and Electric rate payers cover all the

in the case of a meltdown the government will be stuck with the costs
in the USA.


now imagine a meltdown near a major metropolitian area.


in the case of the plant near new york at least 8 million people would
be displaced, most permanetely.


the costs would be staggering


Consumers of products, goods and services, as well as Electric rate
payers have always covered all the cost, all the time, including all
that any insurance pays for.

For the same amount of energy, thorium fueled reactors wouldn't have
cost us at most 10% to date, and the whole damn world would have been
ten thousand percent better off. *So, why not go with the
substantially cheaper and otherwise more failsafe thorium fueled
reactors?
