I like that "...there has only been one truly significant accident
in the entire world...", except for the others, that is. LOL! There
have been thousands of smaller accidents that resulted in little
to no radiation release to the envirnment, but to ignore those is
the exact same thing as ignoring the shuttle tiles that were damaged
by foam in the years before Columbia. Nothing made by man is perfect.
