>We could literally have hundreds of reactors blow causing 1000 km2 unlivable patches of ground and still be perfectly fine. Your numbers are off by orders of magnitude. The exclusion zone for Chernobyl alone is 2600 km2, the areas immediately affected in the 3 neighboring countries is 130 000 km2, food and livestock in areas over 3000 km from the site have to be fed special food supplements in order to pass regulation for human consumption to this day. And this was despite the fire in Chernobyl being handled, limiting the actual amount of fallout released into the atmosphere. IMO, correctly prioritizing our fears means we should put all efforts towards solar and energy storage solutions. That's the optimal solution after all, aiming for anything else is like playing not to win.
