@drjohsmith you are not likely to get any further "fresh" opinions here, just continued conversation from existing participants. Those participants have already answered the question that was asked, and if you are not satisfied with the answer then I suggest asking a less informed group of people. Try Facebook.
Hi @strantor
its not for me to judge or be happy / sad with the views given,
I was just hoping for some more thoughts form people on the question asked.

We here in this forum, which we should ALL know that engineering is the art and science of compromise, understand that better than the average Joe.

Nuclear power in particular, and energy generation in general, is one of mankind’s greatest challenges.
There are no simple solutions, no easy choices. Unless humanity has the willpower to significantly reduce its energy consumption, all sorts of energy generation methods, renewables, nuclear, fossil fuels, should be on the table.

It is impossible to prove that the climate today would be any different had the West done nothing at all.
That's a specious argument.
Of course you can't prove the unprovable, but that's not a sufficient reason to ignore the evidence that the rapid increase in average Earth temperatures, which far exceeds any previous rate-of-rise, is likely man-made.
Of course you likely won't be around to fully feel the consequences of inaction, so I suppose it's safe for you to bury your head in the sand. :rolleyes:

OK,
I give up
I asked the simple question to gain peoples views on when / if / never they thought Nuclear would be safe.
There seems to be an AMAZING amount of general noise talked on the post
from the same people,

What's wrong? We didn't take the nuclear fear train like you thought we would?

Cherry pick your data all you want.

Edit: besides, TS wants us to discuss danger of nuclear only.
@joeyd999
you persist in putting your own spin on the question, and keep misunderstanding my question.
I can only assume , especially following your earlier replies, this is intentional, and to disrupt..
All I wanted was for people to give a view on nuclear and when they thought it would be safe, and I clarified this to you as I was expecting an answer of, it is now, or in a few years or never.
