I can't remember where I read it, but Japan apparently has a history of playing fast and loose with nuclear stuff. Their safety record prior to Fukushima was far from spotless.

After a nuclear accident in France you will be able to read the same about the "safety record" in France. The safety record of eg. Fessenheim does not sound reassuring.
Regardless, it would take a pretty bad nuclear accident to do as much harm as existing carbon-based power plants do when operating as designed.

Not all harm involves glowing green blobs of radioactive doom on CNN.
