Would be interesting to see a model to come up with such numbers. And it would as well be interesting how in such a model the nuclear waste is taken into account, especially the one that risks to pollute some day in the future. Such models might give us an idea of how many more nuclear catastrophes humanity can "afford". After Fukushima happened, I heard or read several times (without being able to quote, probably radio/TV) predictions that big nuclear accidents like Tshernobyl and Fukushima will get more frequent in the future, because (a) the reactors get older and (b) more reactors have been built in the mean time. I hope that future will prove these predictions wrong, but somehow I feel that hoping is not enough. And incidents like these where security limits are relaxed [0], don't really reassure. [0]: Quote from the article: "EDF was granted permission by the regulator in the summer to relax its graphite weight-loss limit at the Dungeness reactor in Kent from 6.2% to 8% after it came close to breaching the original safety margin."
