Sorry, I'm not the person you were replying to, I suspected they wouldn't so I wanted to share the research I did earlier on. I agree with you, and to me these numbers seem rather low relative to the known harms associated with other generation methods. To steelman, it could certainly have been a lot worse, but also, it wasn't, and much was learned that has been incorporated into modern designs.
- defrost 3y agoMy apologies if I seemed combative :) I noted at the time that you were another commenter and that you seemed in general agreement, I added further framing to point out that while a large number and that all death is tragic it's not been the case that nuclear power accidents have been worse than other industrial | power accidents in world history.
- arcticbull 3y agoNot at all, I would have replied the same way to OP, heh. I agree with you. All death is bad, less death is better, and the scale of nuclear accidents doesn't seem out of line with other industrial accidents. People get spooked by the spicy rocks.
