Just to be clear, I’m not claiming that nuclear is not problematic. It is. But the lasting damage from ultra rare major disasters is like a decade of topsoil contamination.
You can compare nuclear to hydro and coal, because those are the similar sources that can produce base load electricity. In that group, nuclear is by far the least problematic.
it isnt about the total DC its about lasting damage in the affected people and environment

Are you suggesting that Fukushima did more lasting damage to the environment than the fossil fuel industry…?
