Default a reminder of that nuclear energy is no harmless affair

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7496998.stm

Quote:
Some 30,000l (7,925 gallons) of solution containing 12g of uranium per litre spilled from an overflowing reservoir at the facility - which handles liquids contaminated by uranium - into the ground and into the Gaffiere and Lauzon rivers. (...) "It is impossible that such a spill, containing uranium, does not have important consequences for the environment and for health," it said.
Simple math: 36 kg of uranium escaped into the environment, then. If somebody seriously tells me that is harmless for health and environment, I would not believe it, too.
