Illinois bears the dubious distinction of being the state in the U.S. with the most nuclear reactors and also the most nuclear waste. Given the inconceivably long-term, catastrophic results of any major nuclear "accident," Dave Kraft, of the Nuclear Energy Information Service in Chicago surveys the present nuclear status quo in Illinois and offers a grim look at the dangers inherent the nuclear industry and possible threats to the environment and people of Illnois.
