Is Nuclear Energy Safe?
With all the stuff going on with Japan and their nuclear plants in potential meltdown mode and now a plume of radioactive gas heading toward the west coast, how are we expected to think that nuclear energy is safe?
Adam discusses how nuclear energy works and safety precautions that nuclear technicians use. We talk about radiation poisoning and how it affects people and plants, iodine pills, Chernobyl and now Japan and nuclear disasters as a whole.
We even talk about Jimmy Carter! Was he a nuclear physicist or a peanut farmer?

I have graciously taken the time to allow you to see what greatness is. You'll not attain greatness yourself, but you can be sharpened against it by observing others as imperfect as yourself standing proud in your humility. Adam allows you to do yourself the favor of joining a community of lesser beings so that you might witness greatness in a way you'll never be stimulated with again.

Follow up: Yes, he was a peanut farmer. No, he was not a nuclear technician. He received his bachelors in Science. That’s probably what you meant, right Don? -The Adam
He subsequently applied, and was accepted, to participate in the nuclear submarine construction programme directed by Admiral Hyman G. Rickover. He took courses in nuclear physics and reactor technology at Union College, New York.

So he wasn’t a nuclear tech. He just studied nuclear physics in school and worked in the nuclear submarine program in the U.S. Naval Academy. So I was wrong, but in the right direction. And he was a peanut farmer too.
All I read was Peanut Farmer. I am trying to emulate people I meet everyday. -The Adam
Right, he had a good understanding of nuclear technology from the submarine he worked on and some of the college classes he took. But you were more right than me. He was more of a peanut farmer than anything else. I just watched a documentary on the guy. He dragged his poor family back to that peanut farm after his dad died.
