Based on their operating record, I'm far more concerned about the risk of CO2 and other pollutants spewed out by fossil fuel plants. If we could swap all fossil fuels for nukes, I'd happily live next to one, even a 70s Russian one. Even if it goes horribly wrong, even if there's another Chernobyl event and I end up dying 10 years premature due to cancer, I'll be happy knowing the planet won't be a hot disaster in a 100 years time. And even then, my odds are good, even if it's a 70s Russian plant we're talking about. Chances are I'll live much longer, breathing healthier air. People say "why not renewables" but so far these only work with storage, which we haven't figured out yet. No major area in the world lives entirely off renewables with no fossil fuel backup or imports. Except maybe some very special cases that have very few people and very good hydro (Norway). But even Switzerland, with a favourable geography, doesn't run entirely on renewables, it is indeed nukes that fill the gap. Ironically of course, clean energy Norway is a major exporter of gas and oil...
