[quote user="Phoebe Vet"] I, too, live within just a few miles of two different nuclear power plants.  I am not at all concerned about the safety of the reactors.  I am not at all concerned about them being attacked by the bogey man du jour.  If a system is put in place to deal with the spent fuel then I would be in favor of nuclear power. [/quote] Most of my working career was spent with one of the largest electric utility companies in North America.  We operated two 1150 megawatt nuclear units.  The spent fuel is being stored on site, as is the case for all nuclear plants in the U.S., and it can be stored there indefinitely.  It would be better, however, if one or two central sites could be developed.  The argument for central storage is twofold.  It would be more economical, and it probably would be a tad more secure, although this feature may be offset in part by the security risks associated with transporting the spent fuel to a central site.
