Nuclear is safer than solar and wind? That doesn't sound right
Vibes are the best way to tackle existential threats.
Nuclear is ridiculously safe. I mean that literally. No other industry is as safe and has as many regulations and as much oversight as nuclear power, largely unfounded.
Personally I'd prefer other industries get safer though to make up the gap.
It isn't but nuclear Stans cant reason.

In 2012 nuclear was by far the safest. Now, it's only beaten by solar, and only by 0.01 deaths per thousand terawatt hour.
It's also worth pondering the fact that governments have not been investing nearly as much into developing nuclear as renewables.
