As long as a nuclear power plant has a containment dome, I'm all for
it. A coal fired power station puts more radiation into the air than
would ever be permissible for a nuclear plant.

I'm a long-term nuclear proponent, and have never heard that fact.

Can you site a source, please?

I'm not the OP, but check "The Nuclear Energy Option", by Bernard L. Cohen,
which has numerous references to pollution from coal (specifically Chapters
3,5,12).

This doesn't even begin to include the leftover ash residue which contains a
bunch of toxic chemicals, especially since Clinton shut down the biggest US
area (southern Utah) producing low sulfur coal back a few years (to placate
his Pacific rim coal producing campaign donors).
