Your arguments do not convince me, Mr Barbour. Not convincing also for thousands of people, for example in Germany, who are struggling for decades now against the storage of nuclear waste in their vicinity exactly because this problem has not been solved satisfactoraly as yet. According to your judgemental utterances these are "ignorant", "laughable" people.  Amongst them nuclear scientists, farmers who worry about there crop and animals, conservationists, ordinary citizens. 
On the bright side: You make an excellent propagandist for the nuclear industry :)
