Yup. Plus, with nuclear, even if we do everything as safely as possible, there's always a tail risk of a VERY negative event due to causes outside our control.

I'm yet to understand why this part of the argument is often so readily dismissed.

That very negative event is less than the expected externalities of coal and in many types of gas exploration
"It's better than coal" is damning with faint praise. Is there anyone who is openly anti-nuclear and pro-coal?
