The cost to dismantle millions, if not billions of tons of PV cell in 30 years is gonna be pretty higher, both in term of cost AND ecological impact than a localized power plant. Also, Chernobyl is not a Gen4 reactor, the core design of R

and comparing "estimated contamination cases vs associated death" to "a known-positive cases vs. associated death" is mistake number 3. CDC data shows 220k known-tested-positive case and 22k associated death. The 36 mill
