The left loves the cite 3 mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima as reasons why we can’t use nuclear power. First of all, TMI did indeed melt down but the reactor functioned as intended and contained everything and there was never really a threat to the community outside the plant. Chernobyl, was just a horribly designed reactor, performing experiments are they probably shouldn’t have been built inside of warehouse with no containment. In the case of Fukushima, we knew it was a plant with design flaws from the beginning with critical back up power and pump systems in low lying areas. The two Reactors that remains undamaged at the plant with the ones with generators, pumps, etc. Were placed in high areas and that in the sub basement of the plant.

Furthermore, the left refuses to talk about the fact that the Navy has had 13 nuclear powered aircraft carriers either in service or been in service, with two more under construction, hundreds of nuclear powered submarines and not a single nuclear accident on any of them.
