If you build a large nuclear reactor, you get big-scale negative effects in case of its failure. Both Chernobyl and Fukushima were "mega projects" by their design based on controlled explosion. You don't have to build gigantic reactors anymore, they could be relatively compact and the effect of their failure is appropriate. I don't want to reuse all these preachers about yet-not-existing-but-totally-superior-x-generation nuclear reactors, but as I understand there are already active reactors that are, unlike Chernobyl and Fukushima, already based on a reaction that won't cause an explosion and catastrophic effects in case of failure, instead they would just become unusable. Also the number of victims of the Chernobyl disaster are exaggerated. And the 235 billion dollar price tag is taken out of nowhere. The weak position of nuclear industry is the mining tho.
