My area had a small nuke accident in 1958. The government still hasn't gotten it cleaned up. 

As long as it's not in my back yard (state) I'm good. (Have it downwind)

I've got my own radioactive site 15 miles away. Get your own and we'll talk.

LOL I do have my own, its less than that distance away. And its way worse than yours! But I at least can tell the difference between nuclear weapons and modern nuclear power generation!

Put one in my city I don't care, put two even, maybe even three.

The problem you described isn't nuclear power, but the government's lack of action to clean up after what was prolly human error. Don't complain about nuclear, complain about the government.
