Other kinds of consequences like cost of mitigation, value of lost property (and lost value of property what wasn't destroyed by itself - you can easily see thousands of homes near, but not in evacuation zone deprecating severely), costs of health checks for hundreds of thousands of people etc. - are worse in nuclear accidents.

- 8bitsrule 8y agoFans of the nuclear industry doesn't like to columnize the costs of 'externalities'. For one, they rarely mention the amount of US government subsidies ($hundreds of billions) poured into getting the early plants up and running. For another, the unwillingness of insurers to take an interest in those operations. When Rocky Flats spilled a little Pu dust into the Denver suburbs, they just raised the 'safe' exposure by a factor of 10. Easy peasy.
