Coal power stations release a lot more radiation than nuclear power stations. If you're concerned about cancer then fossil fuels should be a priority ahead of nuclear.
- dewey 4y ago> then fossil fuels should be a priority ahead of nuclear We are capable to focus on more than one thing at a time. Of course it doesn't make sense to instantly shut down all of nuclear power stations, just like it doesn't make sense to retire every fossil fuel powered engine at the same time or shut down coal from one day to the next. It's a long and slow process.

- replygirl 4y agowe're discussing problems with nuclear and their specific material impacts relative to alternatives to nuclear. comparison != whatabout
- samus 4y agoIt is very relevant since decommissioning a nuclear power plant requires building new fossil-powered ones, or reopening mothballed ones. Renewables + storage simply can't replace them completely yet.
