There's a benefit to having nuclear power plants around that is worth the risk (in my opinion) even if we accept that there will be some nuclear safety issues over time. The positive benefits of nuclear power are so astronomically greater than the negatives that it borders on criminal to report in it like the media has. When coal miners die in China, you don't hear the media clamoring to shutdown every coal mine. Or perhaps more apropos: when there's a coal slurry disaster no one calls for halting all coal mining everywhere. The real reason is that nuclear is scary because people don't understand it.
