Asimov 's defense of civil applications of nuclear power even after the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant incident damaged his relations with some of his fellow liberals . In a letter reprinted in '' Yours , Isaac Asimov '' , he states that although he would prefer living in " no danger whatsoever " than near a nuclear reactor , he would still prefer a home near a nuclear power plant than in a slum on Love Canal or near " a Union Carbide plant producing methyl isocyanate " , the latter being a reference to the Bhopal disaster
