	61	+Nuclear Reactors are leaking right now in the US- this is causing mass environmental damage by cutting into biodiversity, polluting groundwater and oceans, warming the oceans and leaking mass amounts of lethal tritium into the environment causing mass death- this has happened consistently over time and regulations have consistently failed
