The argument that nuclear plants since Chernobyl are perfectly safe was answered by the failure of the "state of the art" reactor failure at Fukishima. You've ignored the dangers of uranium mining and the risks involved to the environment from the spread of radioactive dust, water contamination and storage of radioactive sands in tailings dumps. There were more than 200 radioactive "incidents" in the life of the Ranger uranium mine. You've also ignored the failure of the storage of radioactive waste. To date no waste has been stored in geological permanent storage. Finland is the only country to have built one and has still not stored any in it. Nuclear plants in war zones, as currently demonstrated by the Zaporizhzhia plant are accidents waiting to happen.Lastly, you've ignored the dangers of uranium enrichment which forms the basis of the production of nuclear warheads.
