How many of you live near Nuclear Power plants?

I live within 20 miles of the Seabrook site in MA. I know that Nuclear power is a cheap and welcome alternative to more expensive power sources but is it worth the risk?

Germany has taken steps to shut down all their Nuclear Power plants by 2022. Maybe it's time for other countries to seriously consider alternative energy sources. Yes it would be a large initial investment but it would create far more jobs than it would eliminate in the long run and let's face it, nobody wants radiation in their drinking water.
