Fun fact. Including all accidents, nuclear power released way less radioactivity than coal burning. There’s only a little radioactivity in the coal, but we burn a lot of it.
The radiation emitted by coal power plants is well documented, raising Cancer rates in the surrounding areas. And that’s the normal operation, not a large scale accident like Chernobyl.

sure… that is why fukushima and pripyat are completely safe to live in… it is less radiation than all of the coal in the world *facepalm*

With regards to deaths per Wh, including disasters, nuclear is safer than all fossil fuels, hydro and wind, only pv is safer.
PV is safer, less expensive even with storage, easier to recycle and it is the fastest growing energy.
