I think Einstein said this (well, something close to it) : "I don't know what weapons we will use in World War 3, but I am sure that the war after that will be fought with sticks and stones".
Fortunatly it looks like an all-out Nuclear war is not likely at the moment, tho we better not underestimate local use of (dirty) Nukes.
Anyway, as for the pollution, aside from the places where nuke subs have sunk, does anybody have a good idea how much the enviroment is contaminated in places like Tschernobyl, or the Nuke Test Ranges? I think there is more danger then from small capsuled, shut down, reactors.
