1153092 2010-11-15 07:12:00 As long as it's located in either Wellington or Auckland I see no problems .... if the bloody thing melts down it wont cause that much damage. SP8's (9836)

1153095 2010-11-15 07:28:00 Yes, absolutely

Nuclear is one of the cleanest sources of power (and despite the constant panics over it, it's also extremely environmentally friendly), and compared to many other options has a pretty reasonable cost. It's also great for providing reliable base load coverage, thus freeing up some hydro capacity to handle the ripples caused by unreliable power sources (e.g. wind), and times of peak grid usage.

Modern nuclear plants are also extremely safe - they're guaranteed to never have a Chernobyl-type disaster due to the way they are designed - runaway reactions are for most purposes impossible.

1153096 2010-11-15 07:28:00 Why not? They have improved over the years and we can put them where the power is needed. Snorkbox (15764)
