Would you like to live near one ?

I live near one, it's the best environment I've ever lived within, especially compared to the coal thermal plant that was near where I used to live.

Yes. It would just be hard to persuade my girlfriend.

I've lived near one, and I'd rather live near one again instead of near a coal plant.

Sorry - why not? I can think of definitely devastating infrastructure - I have experienced wind turbines, for example -, and I am not aware of issues related to living near a nuclear power plant (apart from the very rare critical accidents). Do nuclear power plants cause pollution in the surrounding territory?

I'd like to live near any power plant other than a coal-burning or biomass-burning one.

  Some hydro plants are actually really dangerous....

    Well, my country sadly has virtually no suitable geography for "traditional" hydro. We have dams worth several hundred MW of generation (out of ~9 GW of average generation). So a dam suddenly getting built in your backyard is a non-issue here.

I live in Europe. Currently, instead of the small risk of a nuclear plant going near me going bad (which even in the worst case scenarios has led to very limited loss of life), we're instead funding a country that is actively threatening nuclear retaliation for some of our policies. So personally, I'd be happy to trade the small risk of a nearby industrial accident for the small risk of a massive fucking bomb exploding in my general vicinity.

I grew up near one. Played baseball on the fields near the plant all the time, actually. It's fine.

Yes! Yes I would! I currently live about 4 miles away from a coal plant. I know it's giving us various health issues the slow way. I'd much rather live next door to a nuclear plant. Even if you falsely assume we'd have a Chernobyl-style disaster every 10 years once we switched most of our coal plants to nuclear power (which would be extremely unlikely with competent system planning and operation, things we have learned well by now) - it would still be much safer with nuclear once you realize the health costs of coal plants - nuclear simply is the way to go.

I do live near one, near Shearon Harris actually. I'm not bothered by it in the least.
