Coal is even more dangerous. In other words, we can’t be so anemic to all risk and nuclear is comparatively very safe. At these levels, the talk of safety is a non-event (like the car everyone drives in every day in is riskier as is flying in an airplane which is also safer than driving a car not to mention gun violence which is “fuck yeah ‘Merica”). The risk here can just be largely ignored as statistical noise. You still need to manage the risk carefully when things do go wrong, but you existing reactor designs are pretty safe when Fukushima which ignored a bunch of warnings actually still turned out to be mostly a nonevent. Also modern reactor designs can’t even melt down so why are we even talking about Fukushima which is using heavy water reactor designs from the 80s?
