I've always found the nuclear programs suspect. Thank goodness we are quickly moving away from traditional power stations in the world that burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity, and some use nuclear power, but there is an increasing use of cleaner renewable sources such as solar, wind, wave and hydroelectric, and other non-carbon alternatives, many in research and development stages.

Since I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, an area that will also be affected by a now overdue Cascadia Subduction Zone Megaquake, and recently found that the United States nuclear bomb assembly station at the Hanford Site, Hanford, Washington was built upon a geologic fault, where nuclear reactors line the riverbank at the Hanford Site along the Columbia River.
