Dude, you're the one arguing that nuclear plants don't detonate like bombs, a point contested solely in your head. Your facts about chernobyl are misleading.

Dude, you're the one arguing that nuclear plants don't detonate like bombs, a point contested solely in your head. Your facts about chernobyl are misleading. Pripyat -- population roughly 50k -- was evacuated. Hence few direct deaths. What can't we possibly do in nyc? Evacuate it. And it's not like there's a magical air filter 30km outside nuclear plants. Indian Point has 15 million living within 50 miles at most. Hope Creek is 40 miles from Philly. And those two are just off the top of my head. Unless your strategy in the case of a meltdown is to hope that the winds blow the right direction -- in which case I reiterate my point about luck.
