They'll tell you all day long and twice on Sunday that the plant in Humboldt
County was safe. Well, it wasn't and isn't. The ground water around it is
contaminated. Spent fuel rods are "unaccounted for." The air quality went
to shit when the plant was running.

I'm really curious how a nuke plant is responsible for worse air quality?
Near as I can tell the reaction produces heat, the heat boils water, the resulting steam goes thru a turbine and electricity comes from the spinning turbine. The steam is allowed to cool back to water.
Where does the air quality problem come from?
Just curious.
