      …and the development and use of nuclear power has been one of the most important developments in civil infrastructure in the last century.

      Nuclear isn’t categorically free from the potential to harm, but it can also do a whole hell of a lot for humanity if used the right way. We understand it enough to know how to use it carefully and safely in civil applications.
