Can you link some of these studies? From what I've heard in spite of the slightly higher rates of cancer in animals living in those areas they are, in fact, thriving to a higher degree than others of their species living in none quarantined areas, because humans cannot go in and slaughter them. Also what do you mean by "mutants?" are you saying something like Fallout mutants or are you just referring to the higher chance of mutations in highly radiated areas? Cause I hate to burst your buble but everywhere on earth is slightly radiated or radioactive and every time you eat banana's you are getting a dose of radioactivity. These arguments are completely irrelevant. In the event of a nuclear disaster, public support for nuclear propulsion will wane and steps to make it safer will cause research and maintenance to increase. Further accidents will raise tension and further escalate research costs and maintenance and will continue to rise in the wake of each successive disaster until the costs outweigh the benefits and the technology is discontinued. Whether or not some mollusk near a coral reef is mutated is only shared by certain citizens of Tokyo. Public support will wane, yes. But it doesn't mean that research and maintenance will increase. Especially if your reactors have been developed to a point that they are fundamentally safe until someone plugs a missile or other high velocity siege weapon into it. The only way to make reactors safe at that point is to have land based reactors which are built as essentially a fortress for a reason. There is a reason that the worst nuclear disaster in American history, 3 Mile Island, has had no recorded, and confirmed through peer review, long term effects. |

It doesn't need to be in the game, but it certainly is a viable option for warship propulsion. |

While I appreciate the spirited discussion about the subject, we are starting to get a bit off-topic here and into the (IMHO) 'beating a dead horse' area, as the saying goes.

The RTW3 board is now open, so I am going to close this thread as it is no longer required.
Thanks! |
