    Ok, how safe haven’t they been? How many were worse than deepwater horizon?

    I’m guessing you’ve happily consumed what was given to you on a spoon and accepted that it was representative of the bigger picture.

    I grew up an hour from a 1GW reactor that got shut down in part due to “concerned citizens” like yourself. The site it stood on is still periodically checked by the DOE but is now a recreational area. How often do old coal plants do that?

      See above. None were worse than Hiroshima - at least as far as we can determine.

      So you were heavily propagandized as a child. Makes sense. The reasons why nuclear and coal plants are different are many and varied! For more information, consult your local library.
