    So you’re willing to move within 1 mile of a uranium mine and live there and drink the well water from that property?

    No, but it’s the same with gold mines, copper mines, coal, ohoho, oil, ahaha, etc. Scale matters, and in scale for the same amount of energy nuclear gives the least pollution.

    Also I invite you to live near a lithium mine.
