Nuclear is like airplanes: they look the scariest, but are statistically the safest.



And when they blow up, half of Germany can not be inhabited anymore. Germany is small and extremely densely populated. You can not compare it to the US where nuclear plants are in the middle of nowhere.


Except they don’t. Othwerise France would have been a wasteland by now usimg this reasoning.

We, as in the world, have enough experience with nuclear reactors to build safe ones.


Then why wasn't Fukushima safe? Was the experience only gathered afterwards? What knowledge was missing in 2011?
