no nukes is good nukes [see comments for sources]

• days after 9/11/2001 on which the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ruled that citizen concerns about plutonium fuel processing were not valid because citizens had failed to establish that “terrorist acts… fall within the realm of ‘reasonably foreseeable’ events.”: 1
• percentage of the very dangerous and highly radioactive cesium-137 which the NRC says could be released in a fire (started by earthquake, cracking, or impact from a plane or missile) at any of the 103 operating US nuclear power plants: 100%
• distance in miles from New York City to the Indian Point nuclear power plant, which holds 1,589 exremely volitile spent fuel assemblies: 35
• number of hazardous materials railroad accidents, per year, which occurred during the 1990’s: 33
• number of high-level nuclear waste shipments the US Dept. of Energy proposes to make to Yucca Valley over the next 38 years: 108,500
• number of truck and rail accients the DoE estimates could occur over those 38 years: 76
• number of truck and rail accidents estimated by transportation experts: 570
• rank of Hanford nuclear facility, near the Oregon/Washington border, amongst sites holing the largest volume of High-Level Radioactive wastes: 1
• number of new nuclear power plants which the Bush adminitration-assisted nuclear power industry is now planning to build: 25-50
• minimum number of nuclear weapons remaining in the world: 36,000
• factor by which, on average, these weapons are more powerful than the bomb the US military used to kill more than 66,000 Japanese in 1945: 18
• people in the US who would die immediately from an accidental launch of nuclear weapons from a single Russian submarine: 6,838,000
• number of “major” US nuclear weapons accidents that have occurred in the last 50 years: 50
• number of “conex” shipping conainters which arrive in the US each hour: 2000
• percentage of these containers which are opened for inspection: 2
• rank of “conex” containers among simplest delivery systems for a relatively easy-to-create crude atomic weapon: 1
• estimated minimum number of people who would be killed by such a weapon, if detonated in a metropolitan area such as New York: 270,000
• minimum number of years after which battle-used depleted uranium will continue to harm surrounding air, water, soil, and humans: 4,500,000,000
• estimated tons of depleted uranium stockpiled in the US: 500,000

without sounding trite i’d like to posit that it’s way past time for the US to simply quit the nuclear game and assist in the international efforts to stop this madness.
