For the most part, this is a good, informative video about the advantages of nuclear energy.

Then, at 9:00 they talk about the danger of nuclear weapon proliferation. Obviously, this is a scary subject and requires scary footage. Guess what they chose?

Nuclear weapons test footage?

No.

      Maybe the technology will be developed to a harmless level in 500 years, but we don't have that time.

          I'll hear you say that when they drop a bomb on a long term nuclear waste storage, or when the Marshall Islands flood. Maybe you have a different standard or "harm" but I'm happy to hear it.

            Like, no one would actually do this and no one who would will ever have the capacity to do so.

              Does it matter? The US dropped nukes before , what would stop them from bombing a waste site?

                  You don't even need to bomb them, but whatever. I'm getting the sense you are trolling. Boy, bye!

                    Tell me how a metal rod encaced in concrete, burried thousands of feet underground, surrounded by radiation shielding, in the middle of the desert, is going to hurt you.
