The Constitutional Monarchy of Metternic is interested in purchasing a nuclear reactor in the interest of supplying our vast nation with power that is cheap and more enviromentally friendly than most alternatives. If anyone is interesting in selling the plans/helping build a reactor, please write to Metternic or respond on this post.

Thank you,

Credonia is willing to provide your nation with power plants OTHER than nuclear power plants due to the inherent risks that are associated with those types of plants. They are just as efficient and effective. Would you be interested in those?

f.i.s. heavy industries has a line of fusion mhd, and fusion steam turbine power plants available. the delivered power range from 1 mw up to 1 gw. we can also supply power delivery systems, from the convention cual grid to the exotic microwave transmission.

contact us for further details.

I have a great way of getting a LOT of power.. but its secret fort he moment.

Why is nuclear power dangerous? If you mean meltdown, there is a .001% chance that a plant will meltdown. Using Nuclear Power Regulatory Commission Rules, there has to be an emergency reaction shut-down procedure, usually consisting of one big red button. And you would need a hell of a terrorism squad to make a reactor go critical, and all that would be needed to shut it down would be some one to push the button and lock the plant down. And Nuclear Weapons? You need a specialized plutonium extractor for that, and they aren't cheap.

No, they are thinking of 'radation exposure' to the local populace...of course you get more gamma ray exposure on a four hour flight than living next to a conventional nuclear plant but hey...they can be parnoid if they want...lowers the price of Uranium for the rest of us...

I hate seeing this all the time.

THE "INHERENT DANGERS" OF A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ARE (and if I could even-more all-caps this word I would, but HTML is OFF) LESSER - yes, LESSER - THAN THE DANGERS OF OTHER PLANTS.

That excludes solar, which at this time is impractical but may well be the way of the future, and wind, which is practical only for small, isolated power drains in windy places. The way of the near future is fission and, hopefully, fusion.

Proper Nuclear plants don't explode. Don't you dare bring up Chernobyl, that was an unregulated mess run by drunkards and idiots, using antiquated technology. Modern Nuclear plants are SAFE. Thank you.

Currently, the most environmentally friendly power plant is Nuclear by energy-to-pollution ratios, when you consider that making even a solar cell pollutes the air and yet yields very little energy.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have tidal and hydroelectric generators where you can, and windmills where it's windy and there is empty space -- windmills take A LOT of space for the energy they provide -- but don't mess up the facts.

And, for god's sake, please don't support coal or natural gas plants as viable alternatives to Nuclear.*

I detest it when people make arbitrary decisions about Nuclear power based on a "spooky" name when they know little-to-nothing about the facts. And a note about facts: Don't trust a greenpeace website on facts, or any of the rabidly anti-Nuke ones (passively anti-Nuke take on a case by case basis). I don't know where their rumours come from, but they seem to cite each other in circles. Anyway, greenpeace has no obligation to be honest and I'm sure you can find a lie about something you care about on their site.

*Interesting fact: Residents living near a coal plant receive a higher dose of radiation than residents living near a Nuclear plant. Both of these values, however, are nothing compared to the harmful radiation you are receiving from a light-bulb or probably to the computer you are sitting at right now.
