Whatever they're doing about those things now works I guess.
"As of May, 2006, 30 countries worldwide were operating 441 nuclear plants for electricity generation."
I mean nuclear power plants are pretty common even today.
Another good fact about nuclear power:
"The average capacity factor for U.S. nuclear plants was 89.6 percent in 2005, compared to coal at 72.6 percent, natural gas at a range of 15.6 to 37.7 percent (depending on the kind of plant), heavy oil steam turbine at 29.8 percent, hydro at 29.3 percent, wind at 26.8 percent, solar at 18.8 percent, and geothermal at 75.5 percent."
