John McCains words...................
"Nuclear power is safe," McCain said in a June 2007 CNN debate. "Nuclear power is used on Navy ships which have sailed around the world for 60 years without an accident."
"I served in the U.S. Navy and there are Navy veterans here who have sailed on Navy ships around the world for more than 60 years with nuclear power plants on them," he said this month in Ohio. "There has never been a recorded case that I know of where someone has been injured, killed or had ill effects of those nuclear power plants."
But McCain's either not telling the truth or he's badly misinformed about nuclear safety.
McCain wants to see 45 nuclear power plants built by 2030.
The U.S. government announced today that the U.S. nuclear submarine "USS Houston" has been leaking radiation for almost 2 years (June 2006 to July 2008)............during that time the sub visited 3 Japanese ports, as well as Guam and Pearl Harbor.
