higher ups 100% look past the fearmongering of chernobyl and other accidents, nuclear is the safest compared to the many accidents that occur in solar, wind etc (if you look past the accidents which just dont happen nowadays, also considering that china has literally made a reactor that is physically impossible to meltdown)
Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet?

There has to be more to the story than that, as medical tools using radiation have had terrible accidents, but are still used a lot all over the world. And for example every day there are terrible accidents with motorcycles and in some countries that’s basically the primary mode of transportation for most people.
The true story has to be a bit more complex and nuanced?

There’s no alternative for medical instruments and riding a bike is a voluntary choice. Sitting in a radiation cloud because Chernobyl had a meltdown isn’t one.
