Perhaps PITY is in order. Perhaps Kris is the victim of a poor school system.
Somehow he graduated high school ( I assume ) "thinking" that almost half of natural uranium is the isotope U-234 !!!!.
That's the problem with the anti-nukes; they don't know the scientific principles, they don't know the scientific facts.
Because of that; they are just fodder for anti-nuke propagandists to fill up with more misinformation.
Because of the lack of understanding of facts and scientific principles, they can't properly evaluate the risks and benefits of a complex technology like nuclear power. So they have uninformed opinions.
After all; nuclear power is supported by the bulk of scientists, and the scientists that really understand nuclear power; the physicists; the percentage that support nuclear power is in the high 90s - like 98% or 99% of physicists support nuclear power.
Our great scientific honor societies like the National Academy of Science and Engineering also supports nuclear power.
On the other hand, we have people who "think" that nearly half of natural uranium is U-234; and they are against nuclear power.
For the intelligent individual; the choice is clear as to which side they should be on.
