WOULD A NUKE IN THE HOOD BE BETTER THAN A COAL HEATING PLANT?

This is a tiny 5 megawatt nuclear reactor right in the middle of  Cambridge, Mass.   It has been in operation since the mid 1950's.  MIT wants to up it to 10 megawatts.

All the waste heat from the reactor is dissipated through the wet cooling tower - in the image above only the left half of the cooling tower is in operation.

In Cleveland we have the Cleveland Thermal coal heating plant downtown, and the Medical Center coal heating plant at University Circle - both of those plants have been poisoning their neighborhoods and the globe for decades.

How about a Nuke in the Hood?   No problem unless there is a problem.  Right?  

With a nuke the neighborhood remains unpolluted - unless the unit goes Fukushima.   Then the neighbors have a simple task. 

Move. 

What do you think? 

Nuke pollution uncertainty, or coal pollution certainty.
