32. You have obviously never heard of uranium mining and milling or fuel fabrication or enrichment
or uranium or radon releases from mines or mills - they far greater than what is released from coal-fired power plants.

Furthermore - you are WRONG.

BWRs do not comprise "50% of the US nuclear fleet"

From the NRC...

http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/power.html

<snip>

There are currently 104 licensed to operate nuclear power plants in the United States (69 PWRs and 35 BWRs), which generate about 20% of our nation's electrical use. For more information about operating reactors, see the location map, list of power reactors, and NRC Project Managers.

<snip>

35/104 = 33% not 50%

your credibility is less than that

yup

:rofl:
