You sure about that? It's making the news because it's an ecological disaster, it coming from a nuclear plant is almost irrelevant.

That is significantly more than 2000 gallons of oil.

To be honest, with the current market, I'm afraid us Nuclear Power Defenders™ are gonna be put out of work soon due to no one ever really needing us.

Don't pretend like people are just as outraged at this as they would be at an oil company doing the same. If it were Exxon or bp, this thread would be 5 pages long.....
This is the closest nuclear reactor to me.
