    Uninhabitable by humans. Chernobyl created a nature preserve in an instant. The coal pollution you’ve inhaled has affected you more than all 3 of these nuclear disasters.

        Chernobyl was a worst case scenario. It has affected millions of people and will have an unknown death toll due to the inability to measure it.

        It’s still less harmful than any non renewal able energy source.

        Nuclear is a safe, intermediate bandaid while we find a long term solution.

        3800 people a year die from coal plant pollution in the US alone; there are, in fact, much worse things than Chernobyl

          Great reasons to not use coal either.

          there are, in fact, much worse things than Chernobyl

          So then anything not as bad is A-OK?
