And again the propaganda machine is spinning for nuclear disaster. https://www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2021-03/atomkraft-fukushima-k...

Fuushima happened. Chernobyl happened. It is not disaster propaganda. Japan was hit with a disaster. Same with USSR.

Nuclear advocates have a tin ear as far as the fact that nuclear failures don't have a theoretical cap on disaster magnitude.

It's a simple enough fact. No theoretical limit to the extent of the damage, beyond "end of life on Earth". Even the dreaded fossil fuel business does its mass extinction events at a more manageable tempo.

Arugably, there should be conventions against use of any technology that has potential for irreversible harm to the environment.

Paywall or somrthing (its in german)
