The five-part miniseries premieres Monday, May 6 on HBO.
What propaganda points are those, exactly?Could be interesting, or could be anti nuclear propaganda. Will watch but will see if it exposes the misconceptions about it or plays on them.... or it could take the obvious path and have everyone turn into super heroes
But truth be told I wouldn’t mind visiting the place.
the last time a bunch of brits played Ruskies we got Enemy at the Gates
Probably the biggest ones would be that nuclear power is dirty, and inherently dangerous. It is in fact one of the cleanest and safest form of electricity production there is, it even beats out solar and wind. I have heard "environmentalists" state reasons as to why they push these lies, but that would be crossing into politics.What propaganda points are those, exactly?
Well there is the matter of what happens when things don't go right, like Chernobyl and Fukushima. The sea life around Japan is still highly dangerous for consumption.Probably the biggest ones would be that nuclear power is dirty, and inherently dangerous.

But nuclear, like weed has been subject to a long campaign of lies and misinformation, and scare tactics. I am slowly seeing more people becoming open to nuclear power, but perhaps not fast enough.
It's not without some issues, nothing is. But even the big disasters have a pretty low casualty rate, compared to others. But when you think Chernobyl you imagine a big gigantic explosion that killed thousands. 50 is closer to the truth. But I think both Chernobyl and Fukushima show what happens when you either shutoffs all the safety systems and then do stupid shit or mother nature steps in and says hey I want attention.Well there is the matter of what happens when things don't go right, like Chernobyl and Fukushima.

I largely agree though.

Yep, like locate all the backup generators below sea level in the case of Fukushima. Not smart anywhere you get tidal waves.
Like with all inventions, designs are refined and improved especially after disaster. The newest nuclear plants being built have a massive water tank that can just drown the reactor in emergencies like those, for example.
