Nuclear power plants face widespread opposition, yet the same critics rarely object to nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines.

Opponents point to incidents at Three Mile Island, Fukushima in Japan, and Chernobyl, even as France successfully draws a major portion of its electricity from nuclear power.
