I try to think about nuclear energy the same way I think about chemical hazards. Chemical spills are happening all the time and we hardly notice unless we are ordered to evacuate. Nuclear seems a lot more scary, but it's not really much more dangerous than a LOT of industrial chemical plants.
In addition oversight for Nuclear is WAY better. If there is a breach we're way more likely to know, rather than wondering why everyone in a certain Indiana town is getting a rare form of cancer from an unreported chemical spill.
Risk tolerance wise, I would rather have one of these running next door, than having a steel plant 20 miles away...
