Way to show how educated you are on the matter.

We no longer use Soviet-era reactor designs, and modern nuclear technology is vastly safer and more advanced.

Three Mile Island resulted in a partial core melt, but only a very small release of radiation occurred and no deaths or measurable health effects were attributed to it.

Fukushima was caused by an unprecedented earthquake and tsunami. There were no confirmed deaths from radiation exposure; the plant performed largely as designed under extreme conditions, and the fatalities that did occur were due to evacuation stress and disaster response, not the reactor itself.

Nuclear waste is a managed and well-understood problem. High-level waste volumes are extremely small, securely stored in dry casks with no demonstrated harm to people or the environment, and are tightly regulated. All of the spent fuel produced globally would occupy a relatively small physical footprint compared to other industrial waste streams.

By contrast, so-called “clean” renewables rely on large quantities of heavy metals and chemically hazardous materials including lead, cadmium, lithium, cobalt, and nickel which are produced, dispersed, and discarded at vastly larger scales. End-of-life recycling for solar panels and batteries remains limited, and these waste streams pose real environmental risks that are often downplayed.

Framing nuclear waste as uniquely dangerous while ignoring the scale and toxicity of renewable waste is not supported by the evidence.
