when the NRC, under his instruction, made development of nuclear power plants exceedingly difficult and costly,
***Uhh, that was due to 3 Mile Island, which is STILL not cleaned up enough to walk your dog through it. Since then, fission can brag about 2 more accidents that will take 10,000 years to clean: Fukushima and Hiroshima.
That, combined with no real place to store nuke waste for 100,000 years and it’s NO Thanks. Once you work in the cost of cleanup and storage of waste, fission power is extremely expensive.
Instead of trying to keep atoms apart that wanna go together, it will be far safer trying to push atoms together that wanna repel. When the SHTF, the atoms repel and the reaction simply stops.
You can stop the nonsense, been to TMI, part of the fleet who owns them and what you are spouting is garbage. You have more to fear living next to a Chemicals manufacturing plant than a nuclear plant.
You post is fear mongering period.

BTW, cleanup ended in December 1993. Three Mile Island Generating Station Unit 1 continued operation until September 20, 2019. It is, literally, an island and is privately owned. So, I don’t think walking your dog there is even an option. Though part of the island isn’t locked off and guarded, so I guess it is.
“... with no real place to store nuke waste for 100,000 years”
“no real place to store nuke waste for 100,000 years”
You have to consider the tiny volume of the nuclear waste.
