[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 543198, member: 56140"] Nobody really understands how dangerous an oil refinery really is. No community wants them in thier back yard. They stink, pollute the ground, are extremely explosive, to name a few. I have been in my share of refineries in the past. They are an eyesore. Most communities would rather look at a big office building that employs 500 people then a refinery that employs as many as a thousand people. Lets face it, they are ugly. [b][Broken External Image][/b]: The same goes for nuclear powerplants. Clean and safe energy. 99% of the people out there do not understand nuclear energy. As a radiation worker, I still get the same old questions. Do you glow at night? (no) What does radiation smell (or taste, look, feel, etc) like? (you are unable to sense it with any of your senses) Does that radiation make the weld hot? (no) How long do I have to wait after you put the radiation source away before it is free of radiation? (Gamma ray energy is just an energy, much like a light bulb. When you turn the bulb off, the light goes out) ...and many others. People don't know what it is, but they know it is bad and unsafe. I know of more coal burning boilers blowing up then nuclear reactors. Tom [/QUOTE]
