    These are mostly all people fucking up and not the structural integrity being breeched or the reactor running out of control.all things considered, they’re very safe if operated and monitored properly. The problem is that there is practically zero funding for nuclear power since the oil and gas industry has been lobbying against it and demonizing it in the public eye for decades.

    It’s the same as saying “cars are dangerous because people drive drunk or fall asleep at the wheel and cause accidents”. The tech isn’t the problem, it’s the people operating it.

      I’m well aware of the causes and I know they’re safe, I’ve both said that specifically and never implied otherwise. I know about lack of funding as well, in not sure your point in bringing it up either.

      Well aware, I’m not sure where you got the idea that I I’ve says anything at all about their safety aside from lies by omission do not benefit the argument for nuclear power.
