Sorry Eyefish,
but I don't think that argument is valid. Of course there is a danger if an accident occurs. The 3600 page document is needed to tell them how high the likely hood that an accident will occur, what the likely hood of an accident occurring that has significant damage is, etc.

I bet you every surgery you do has a risk. And I bet if you screw up, that damage could be significant. I also bet you carry insurance and rarely if ever have screwed up. Recently my son took some medicine recommended by his doctor and ended up in intensive care with a severe reaction. No one messed up, it just that with this medicine there was a very slim chance of a problem. He, unfortunately, was the first person that anyone in the hospital had ever seen that had that reaction. Yes, it was clearly stated as possible on the prescription, but everyone believed the risk was greater than the potential of a side effect. We take risks every day and measure the risk against reward. Every time we get in a car we take on risk and cause a slight impact to the environment.

I can's say if the risk is worth it for the plant, but I can say that in all the state, the most of the cheapest houses that exist are in Aberdeen and Hoquiam. Over 18 under $55 thousand. Something must be done.
