Exactly.

Had it been a gas plant or whatever, it wouldn't have mattered. But it was a nuclear plant, and in a nuclear plant any improbable event like that is a major f* up. That's the core issue.

... it would have been doing damage constantly, just by operating, in the form of emitting carbon.

let me just remind the jury that, despite nuclear power being cleaner, there is still this big nuclear waste problem I don't recall us ever solving.

[tinco]

We have solved it, governments just don't enforce it because storing used uranium is cheaper than recycling it.

The numbers I heard a while was something like after first use uranium is 95-97% power, can be reused down to 15-25%. I haven't heard anyone getting this far with it, or even predictions of how radioactive it would be then.
