One nuclear accident every 60–150 years seems pretty fine compared to the estimated risk of global warming from fossil fueled power plants. It seems similar to the added risk of battery fire in electric cars compared to continuing using IC cars.
If we can replace existing nuclear plants with exclusively using renewable and storage then that should naturally be considered, but accident rate of nuclear plants should not be considered in places where the current or future alternative is burning fossil fuels.
