Chernobyl has made sunflowers a symbol; they are a major part of the clean-up, since they break down the radioactivity.
I have a friend in Pennsylvania (just like the license plate!) whose husband works for the NRC as a med tech. They live almost within site of what is very obviously a nuclear power plant (the Limerick PA plant). My friend figures it's the safest nuclear plant in the world, since it's practically in the shadow of the NRC.
And her husband tells an amusing story about a radioactive toilet seat (apparently made of granite). Many people forget that the world is naturally radioactive, and that is possibly responsible for the diversity of life as we know it on earth.
