Nuclear Power

Who likes Nuclear power? Who doesn't? Have any of you done research into it to find out the real benefits, effects, detriments, and applications of the technology? Does anyone know how these things work?
I can say for myself that I love nuclear power, and will be studying Nuclear Engineering in college this coming year in the hopes of being able to aid in the research towards making Fusion technology a viable energy resource. If any of you are curious as to how it works, why Fission is not as bad as most think, and why Fusion is the ultimate source of energy unless we can harvest Antimatter (unlikely), I can explain personally or point you in the right direction. Any other scientific minded people here?

Set your sights higher quantum mechanics is the way forwards lol good luck though ; p
