I don't think it's a big issue, as there aren't very many of them in the US. Someone in the Crossed thread talked about how hard it is to get a reactor to overload. There's a small one in Portland, but I doubt anything could cause it to explode or leak radiation. On the resiliency of modern nuclear power plants: Some twenty years ago, my 2nd grade class took a field trip to a nearby nuclear plant for a tour and some lectures from the employees there. On one of our stops, we were taken into a backup control room, which was a replica of the real control room and was programmed to respond exactly as the real reactor would; I think it was used for training exercises. My entire second-grade class was let loose in the control room--twenty kids pulling all the levers and pushing all the buttons at random, and we couldn't cause a simulated catastrophe. Honestly, I'm thinking about making that place into my fortress in case of zombie holocaust. I imagine I'd be able to Google up enough information to run the power before the infestation reaches critical levels, and with the electricity and the security fences, I don't think it'd make for terrible defenses, either.

No matter how many movies I see, the answer is always the same. It's the zombies. The zombies are the real monsters. You can tell by a lack of decay and better grooming among the survivors.

I dropped out of this comic a while ago, after Negan appeared, killed Glenn, chumped Rick's settlement and took their supplies and medicine, and then the gang went off to meet the King of Georgia or something to help them take Negan down. How are you guys still discussing Negan? How did they make him into anything besides a crazy megalomaniac to be eventually killed by Rick or Michonne?

Next issue has a 2 year time skip and he's still locked up down there and Rick occasionally visits to ask advice. That's more or less where we are now. And that right there is why, no, I could not just read it.
