Why is it that we don't site nuclear power plants inside military bases?
It would seem to afford pretty good security for very little
additional investment, and I'm also wondering why we don't have the
military running them.
If we followed the French model, and built one design instead of
designing each one differently, then we could gain significant
advantages.
If the military runs them, then we can be assured that the sensitive
bits are in safe hands through the whole process.
In the end, the waste has to be disposed of, but that's a fairly small
problem, and one that's pretty well understood.
Alternatively, we can continue buying foreign oil and fueling the
problems over there, or burning natural gas and coal which both
release significant pollutants and radioactives into the air, as well
as whatever CO2 burden is associated.
