There's a couple of assumptions in the question that makes it hard to give a simple, honest answer. Would I want one in my town? Hey, I don't live in a town. Would I want one built near me? Honestly I'd have to say no, because I don't want ANYTHING built near me. But if it has to be, I'd rather have nuclear than coal, or even one of those ecosystem-destroying multiple-acre solar plants. (Solar belongs in my back yard or on my roof (or on stores, schools, & covered parking lots), not in the desert.
I do wish people would keep their minds on one important point regarding this disaster: those 22,000 people (or whatever the final toll is) died from the earthquake & tsunami. NO ONE has died from what happened to the nuclear plant.
