Thankfully for Hagdos, he's not working around neutron irradiators or that'd be a gruesome lesson.

We don't want no pansy electron beam irradiators! Full ompf ionozation please.

Generally when a fact is established it does become the "standard counterpoints" people use.

You personally said "Nuclear waste is scary" - that's why I said people fearmonger. If you're informed you'd actually understand it's a very safe form of waste

Also you said it wasn't due to poor operation, but then state an example of a plant being poorly operated. If those were obvious and established problems that they already should have been able to account for, then someone dicked it up. Nuclear is only dangerous when it's irresponsibly used. We already have accounted for the mayor pitfalls. It's not worth saying it's dangerous, bad for the environment, or scary in terms of waste.

Nuclear energy isn't some half theory or some risky experiment, it's pretty well established and understood at this point.

I also said people in general shouldn't be so politically involved when they're not informed, I actually said that because I shared and hoped you would be able to agree on that. I wasn't demeaning you.

The coal industry emits magnitudes more unvetted radiation than any nuclear power plant will in it's whole lifetime; as in, radiation is undetectable around a modern nuclear plant.

Plus coal and oil extraction has it's own problems with radiation. Nuclear produces stable, storable waste that if handled and buried correctly will never become an ecological issue.

They're built to a modern standard where it's practically foolproof. Fukushima held up to an enormous earthquake followed by several tsunamis; that's despite the poor operation of the plant.

The damage we would have to cause to compromise and get rid of any nuclear reliance is far more immediate and concerning.

Nuclear isn't actually as complicated nor unpredictable as you'd think. They've solved ways to avoid melt downs such as the fuels being improved, the amount they process at one time, their cooling and the redundancies. The physical design of a modern station takes into account the worst situations that any given amount of fuel can give in a meltdown such as deep wells that are situated under a reactor to melt into. You won't likely ever see in our lifetimes a station reaching critical meltdown and it not be because a government or private company cut corners.

Scientists are doing this work, they know what they know and they know what they're doing, it's not really for everyone to politically involve ourselves with when no one ever does any valid research or basic knowledge of science without fear mongering.

Momento and Groundhog Day.

Wakes up every day unable to remember anything, and can't even leave notes.

You could call it "Stuck in the Ground-hog"

The never ending cascade of problems Brexit still drags us slowly through.

Data being a badass.

And when it arrives, I'll smash it with a hammer!!

"Your skills and qualities tell us you may be over qualified for the position. We would like to offer you a role in management instead."

I haven't drunk alcohol in over a year, last time I got drunk was maybe almost a decade ago...

I'm sure that'll convince someone? Though it makes it sound like I used to be one too lol.
