The way to substantiate this is to look at data because otherwise it would lead to unnecessary scaremongering, precisely the things holding nuclear energy back amongst other reasons (cost, etc.)
Put it in another context with far greater consequences than Fukushima disaster - the current Coronavirus pandemic and possibility of links to Wuhan Lab, one accident and it shut down the world and caused millions of deaths. Far more than all nuclear tragedies combined. Not to mention, the economic toll and far reaching consequences of the society.
Kind of boggles my mind why the society doesn't look at Level 5 bio labs in the same exact or more serious way than Nuclear power plants. Even if Wuhan lab hypothesis is incorrect, we should have more resources and focus on how to make these GoF studies/Level 5 labs secure, and essentially as safe as nuclear power plants or better. Public awareness just isn't there.
Origins of Coronavirus should be investigated with 100x more rigor than 6 people touring the facility from WHO for 3 days only to see presumably a massive coverup.
