I don't know how much nuclear reactors have advanced. But I can understand the fear in the someone's back of their mind: What if something goes wrong?

I see this risk = Fallout x Probability. Even though the proponents argue that the tech is much more safer, the fallout is so huge and generational that its it neutralises the low probability of any accidents.

PS: I am neither for or against the nuclear tech.



But wouldn't even another Chernobyl-scale disaster be a drop in the bucket compared to what the climate doomsday cult says will happen if we don't stop burning coal and gas?
