Calvert Cliffs, some ~80m away from where I sit; Hope Creek and Salem plants are also about that far, Limerick's a bit under 100m. Three Mile Island and Peach Bottom plants in PA are less than 50m from here.
Point is, within 80m of where I currently sit, there are more nuclear plants than there are on the entire West Coast of the US. I thought that was worth exploring, but then again, I'm strange.
I think re-evaluating safety in US plants is a good idea, but I also think any plan to do so will be over-hyped by the media until everyone living in the same state as a plant will start swearing their water's glowing.
<shrug> Just curious, I guess.
