Oh yeah that one’s great too; I hate the random FUD about the PCB releases coming from Nuclear Power Plants though. The GE BWR design is deeply flawed in a lot of ways but nuclear power plants are far from the consistent polluters that other factory/process wastewater is. The main PCB releases were coming from capacitor manufacture, and coal plants also designed by GE release hundreds of times more radiation than nuclear plants. Like, they’d be thousands of times less polluting if they only made nuclear plants, but people just generally associate nuclear power with pollution which is probably more FUD created by GE because the margins aren’t as good for them on nuclear plants.
