Nuclear energy is the safes energy known.
It is just that people are scare by “radiation”, getting killed by suffering antagonizing cancer death.
The nuclear safety guidelines are way (orders of magnitudes) overprotective!

Facts -
1) Nobody (0)died of radiation from Fukushima!
2) Nobody (0) died at Three mile island!
3) ~47 people died from Chernobyl disaster, couple of hundreds got seriously sick there. Chernobyl was caused by chain of subsequent six errors, each of them could stop it. And that was Soviet era reactor, not the safest design!
4) Even in Hiroshima/Nagasaki the cancers among survivors increased by “statistically significant” 5%!
It is estimated that Hiroshima/Nagasaki killed by cancer about 334 initial survivors! (most people there burned to death or were otherwise killed by the explosion, not by the radiation.)
5) There are few and far between minor nuclear accidents which killed/got sick some more people. Mostly by gross negligence.

People who work in the nuclear power industry have a lower rate of cancer than the general population. The same is true of professional pilots and people who live at high altitudes who also have a higher level of radiation exposure.

German nuclear power could suffer serious problems if there was an earthquake with a tidal wave. Of course therefore a German Godzilla could emerge. Or perhaps a huge manatee.
