Fans of nuclear power really love those "negligible" risks, don't they? The general public not so much. Certainly not after "impossible accidents" keep happening. And then the nuclear fans say "Now it's all better, pinky promise with cherry on top!" Well... No, the author doesn't seem to be an expert. Also for his claims you don't need a nuclear engineering background, you need economics. If the political party doesn't matter, the author shouldn't have made false accusations against the Green party and used those as "support" for his argument.

Usually in 2022 when a "fan" of nuclear power points "negligible" risks, it's regarding climate change, i.e. they think the industrial risk of not getting to the emissions targets in scenarios without a nuclear outweigh nuclear risks. Here is a recent relatively neutral study of different mix scenarios for 2050 in France with their different risks category assessed: https://assets.rte-france.com/prod/public/2022-01/Energy%20pathways%202050_Key%20results.pdf https://assets.rte-france.com/prod/public/2022-01/Energy%20p...
