I do believe that an accident at a nuclear power plant has
more destructive potential than even a tanker truck collision.
Thus, nuclear plants do need to be operated by trained professionals
who are suited to the task - not randomly selected from the
driving public. The most important thing, I think, is the
quality and dedication of the management - we don't want the 
Tosco refinery people making the key decisions here. At this time I'm
not so sure we want top PG&E management making these decisions,
either.
