I don't think that's true. We've used nuclear power for decades with exceptionally few problems or deaths. There are single hydroelectric dam failures that have killed more people than everyone who has ever died from nuclear power - including Chernobyl, Three mile island, Fukushima, etc. Banqio dam killed 174,000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam Chernobyl, on the other hand, the deadliest and worst nuclear power plant disaster in history killed 45 directly and was possibly responsible for increased cancer incidence adding another 4-6,000 cancer deaths. Should we discontinue hydroelectric power because all dams will eventually fail and may flood inhabited areas? Nuclear power is incredibly safe.
