Three Mile Island was the worst nuclear accident in US history. Was mainly caused by poor design of human feedback systems which caused operational confusion and lead to a catastrophic failure.

How dumb. With 1.6B you could install so much more Watts of power with wind turbines and solar parks with the added benefit of less carbon and less nuclear waste and less chance of boom.
Interesting. What is the chance a nuclear plant goes boom? Sounds legit.
Very unlikely if maintained properly. The other facts are a lot more important. In addition to the most important one of WAY cheaper price per kWh (of Solar/Wind). And one medium important thing: Nuclear plants often rely on a river for cooling. If said river gets to warm/carries to little water the plant may have to shut down (happened a lot in France recently).
Well, are they? All of them?
Not to mention that wind turbines and solar parks are faster to set up AND scalable. A nuclear plant is neither.
I mean, I guess it might be cheaper to start up a nuclear plant again than to build a new solar/wind farm. There’s also someone below who claims that nuclear is actually cheaper.
