By ”can't handle” people mean an incident similar in scope to a mine collapse or coal plant fire. The fires of Saudi oil fields were more toxic than that. People do not understand the kind and level of risk posed by radiation at all - Fukushima was cleanly contained, despite multiple safety systems failing. (Compared to TMI or Chernobyl especially.) The evacuation caused more harm than the incident, as does the sigmatization of the people <not really) affected by it. And it got hit by a tsunami, not a risk in Germany. This is how overblown the whole affair is. Yes, wind and solar are safer. So is geothermal. But nuclear is still safer than hydroelectric, gas, oil or coal.
