It never melts down and kills everyone.

Nor does nuclear power suffer natural gas explosions or coal mine disasters.

If your interest is solely accidental loss of life per KwH generated, nuclear is by far the safest means of generating electricity.

Don't go all hysterical on us...

“Nor does nuclear power suffer natural gas explosions or coal mine disasters.”

What has that got to do with the power plants? Answer: Nothing.

The biggest problem that I see with nuclear power generation is what to do with the spent fuel rods. They stay highly radioactive for a very long time. Nobody wants repositories in their back yard, even though safe storage facilities can be built.
