Safer than solar, wind, and hydro?

  If a damn fails, I imagine the result would be pretty devestating to anything downstream.

    Yup. More deaths in this one dam failure in China than all worldwide nuclear deaths combined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure

    Big intensity, short duration. Nuclear accidents will be devastating for thousands of years so very different things. This is like saying that high voltage is harmless because high amperage can kill you also. Time to move on further in this discussion and stop talking about that damn. Is a popular stance but useless to compare both

  Yeah. In solar and wind lots of deaths from falling off roofs or windmills.

    This is as much true as it is trolling
