    There are industrial accidents, like fossil fuel plants catching fire and/or exploding, with more casualties than every nuclear ‘disaster’ combined.

      Pretty sure people kill more people than any other cause combined.

      Could be wrong. Depends if you count manufactured famine and healthcare crises as part of that.

      We should get off fossil fuels, but I don’t see nuclear as a way of doing that. Solar, wind, and hydro (tidal is interesting. Micro hydro could have uses without destroying entire ecosystems.)
