However, you are wrong about the release of radioactive gases into the air by nuclear power stations. In normal operation, nuclear power stations do not release any radioactive gases into the air at all. As a matter of fact, the old coal fired power stations *did* release a considerable amount of radioactive materials into the atmosphere, but it was not considered polite to mention that fact. Any more than much of the west and north of the UK is situated on top of a low-grade uranium ore, and many (most?) chippings used on roads are 0.001% uranium. And uranium is radioactive and hence carcinogenic :-) As is tritium. Think of all those trutium-laden granite houses in Cornwall. But it is also not polite to speak about that, for fear of upsetting the housing market. Franz |
