those old russkie plants are so "safe"..nothing to worry over...the older the better...do I have iodine in my med-kit???

 

[Maverick]

we have 100 nuclear reactors in 62 plants spanned across 32 states with more then half being over 30yrs with oldest being built in 1969, just a matter of time here in the states
