> The solution to Chernobyl style accidents is to not build Chernobyl style nuclear reactors

Or, indeed, any at all. Thus, also no Fukushimas, and no TMIs, and no Santa Susanas.

you know that "nuclear energy fear" is conceptually equal to "airplane fear" in trasportation?. Both are the most safe by output (kwh vs miles travelled) against deaths in their own categories.

Rendering large areas uninhabitable is plenty of harm. And death is not the only detrimental health impact.

Santa susana is bad and something I’m even vocal about, but that was nuclear experiments, not nuclear power

It was officially enforced lying about nukes causing a public health disaster. Nukes is nukes, first of all.
