I'm in favour. There's risks, but so long as safety procedures are followed that's not a problem. Safety has been a huge issue with nuclear plants, and so it's been developed a whole hell of a lot. The safety measures available for nuclear power plants these days definitely make nuclear power safe enough to operate on a much larger scale that currently.
Every power source has its advantages and disadvantages, but I think today the benefits of nuclear energy outweigh the drawbacks. It's cheap after the initial investment, clean, and doesn't rely on a bunch of crazy guys out in the desert to work.
No single source is going to meet our energy needs, but nuclear can definitely be a big part of it if we'll just pull our balls out of our back pocket and get to it.
