I'd rather a nuclear plant as my neighbor rather than a coal or natural gas one.

One has a one in a million chance to kill you. The other has a 100 in 100 chance to cause you severe health issues in the longrun.

Those health issues while being a problem are in no danger of killing humanity. Wether they affect hundreds, thousands, even millions.

ONE really bad nuclear disaster can make a whole continent uninhabitable.

The risks are on totally different magnitudes.
