There have been few tens of incidents over the years and every single one is documented with care

Yes the one from the first link is so much documented that journalists documenting it got murdered

Nuclear being "greener" than coal does not mean that it is green.

Having enough iodide pills for everyone and plans for a nuclear disaster do not make nuclear safe.

Nuclear is greener than hydro and has caused less casualties than hydro. That should be well enough indicator of nuclears greeness to the common folk.

Yeah, sure. People murder people. We still have religion around alltough thats well documented of killing people daily and raping children.

You are really overplaying anything negative thats even loosely linked on nuclear. Modern well managed nuclear is the most environmentally friendly source of energy. It takes so little space, produces so little easily managed waste and enormous amounts of energy. With all the facts and statistics its a no brainer.

So little manged waste that the mafia can easily ship it to somalia and dump it in the wild.

Modern well managed nuclear is the most environmentally friendly source of energy.

This is proven wrong by the second link posted earlier.
