I don't believe one is around me but who knows i don't look much in it. i live in ohio btw.
BUT
question for you. Why are you saying anyone in u.s or anyone near a plant?
Do you think U.s is only ones have them?
They are bad and should never be built. They cause more harm then good...

And what alternative do you suggest? Wind farms? None of the alternatives are viable on there own and coal fired power stations produce far to much CO2. Seeing as though the computer you use, to write ignorant comments with, is powered by electricity, may be you should pipe down a bit.
seriously.
Theres been, what? 50-60 deaths? 50 or so from the initialy explosion at CHernobyl, and another 10 or so from radiation. 3 Mile Island was a joke (well, not really, but a joke in the sense that people are still scared of it lol). Japan is serious, but I think it'll end up being ok.
Now lets look at coal/oil plants. How many people have died from mining coal in the past six decades? How much damage has been done to the environment? How many people have died or killed for oil? Hell, I'd bet more people have fallen to their deaths installing wind turbines than died from nuclear power plant related accidents :P
Solar and wind power atm is idealism. Nuclear power is the best we can do. Coal is outdated and harmful but relatively cheap. If it were up to me, all power plants would be nuclear and we'd invest more into alternative/renewable research so we have a viable solution to nuclear power fifty years from now.
I'm arguing for nukes not against, I agree with you about them being the only viable power source at the moment.
