This is kind of like saying, "I really believe that commercial airlines are the safest way to travel..." Except nuclear power is not the safest form of energy. Not by a long shot. What's the worst that could happen if an earthquake or a terrorist strike devastated a solar array or a wind farm? Apart from cutting off the power supply, nothing much. Compare that to a meltdown at a nuclear power plant. Or the nuclear proliferation risk caused by the theft of fissile material. Not to mention the hazards posed by nuclear waste.
