15  rem to the red bone marrow?
54 affected rem since 1964

Otto --

The accident analysis for the AP1000 can be found at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/design-cert/ap1000/dcd/Tier%202/Chapter%2015/15-toc_r11.pdf 

From the opening section, "The AP1000 protection and safety monitoring system and passive safeguards systems are not dependent on offsite power or on any backup diesel generators. Following a loss of ac power, the protection and safety monitoring system and passive safeguards are able to perform the safety functions and there are no additional time delays for these functions to be completed.? That, in and by itself, is the major thing that makes the AP1000 (the reactors to be built at the Vogtle site in Georgia) safe(r) than current reactor designs.

From your wording below, it sounds like you believe the public equates "safe" with "zero risk". Under that definition, I don't believe any technology or activity would be deemed "safe".

I think the average person would want to know if it can have
catastrophic melt-down accident that would affect many people living
near the plant.

If so, the average person would perhaps not consider it to be "safe".

What about the two that were just licenses for construction in Georgia?

What is the maximum credible accident for these new power reactors?
