Why no one points out a basic "known" about nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants have a maximum operational life of ~ 100 years. In many cases less. Because of materials mutation all reactors must be shut down and mothballed after the core's operational life has been reached. As one who has spent a great deal of time at the Chernobyl nuclear station I can say empirically that unless the sun goes out, nuclear power on a large scale is simply a form of genocide by greed and stupidity.
