This I did not know, and it could seriously change the entire equation. You've been talking about whats leaking into the water, which will degrade to safe levels in a relatively short time, less than a crude oil spill like the Exxon Valdeez or what the fuck Shell has been doing to Nigeria or Venezuela. However, if the fuel itself isn't contained, then we have a Chernobyl situation, where the hazard and risk increase rather than decrease. Radioactive contaminated water is one thing, but the fuel sources can continue to irradiate the entire plant. If such is the case with the fuel itself, then indeed you're right.
