Please refrain from putting these 2 in the same bucket. Fracking does lots of localized and non-local pollution. Nuclear is contained and way safer for humans.
Sure? With the continual modern improvements and safety engineering and education, I'll live right at the nuke if you'd like.
Every plant doesn't operate in a silo (well, it does in a physical sense), the operating knowledge and expertise is shared far and wide to help keep another Three Mile Island or another Fukushima from happening. I enjoy watching the training in action from the control room simulators.[1]
Just let me hunker down in the FLEX shelter when the time comes.
One could argue it is nominally safe.
