> One incident almost 50 years ago
Smaller incidents happen every year, example for Canada: https://www.technicalsafetybc.ca/case-study-ammonia-release-incidents-2007-2017 https://www.technicalsafetybc.ca/case-study-ammonia-release-...
> Millions of tons of ammonia are handled every year.
Fertilizers are handled in even larger quantities, generally safe most of the time, yet accidents do happen. This alone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Beirut_explosion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Beirut_explosion killed comparable count of people to Chernobyl + Fukushima combined.
I consider a nuclear power plant way safer than a facility which handles bulk quantities of toxic or explosive stuff.
