Question

Is it risky to live in ID due to Nuclear plant?

Answer 1

Why would it be?  Over the last 50 years of nuclear power, less than 100 people have been killed by nuclear accidents.

You're safer in a nuclear power plant than you are in your own bathroom.

Answer 2

Nope they have very strict safety procedures. Much riskier if you are behind a vehicle on the road carrying Nuclear material. The worst risk is the price of your home falling as people are  generally not good at assessing risk.

Answer 3

I worked for 6.5 years at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, the plant itself never gave me cause for concern.

If I recall correctly however the very 1st death in the Nuclear industry happen in Idaho so maybe it is risky there LOL

Answer 4

Life is full of risks.  Most 'nukes' in the US (ID = Idaho?) are low-risk.  If otherwise, there would be more deaths or mutations by now.

Answer 5

Yes.  Especially if there is a leak of some sort.  I know residents in southern California who were given anti radiation tablets at one time in case of terror attack to the plant.
