Quote from AbSoluTc :
Nuclear power already had a tarnished fate in the public eye. There have been so many near incidents and then you have Chernobyl and Fukushima - poisoning the land for hundreds of years if not thousands.

Yeah it may be "cleaner" but that's a relative term. You fail to realize that the byproduct is hazardous waste. Most of which does not have a home and will never go anywhere except maybe a mountain? Humans fascination with burying things they don't know what to do with.

Again, cleaner is relative.
It was tarnished by the same people who claimed the world would end then as they are claimimg the same now. France went full nuclear grid almost half a century ago without incident, we could have had a reliable zero carbon energy solution if the ever smug eco puritan lot had not been allowed to control the narrative, a mistake that continues even now.

Waiting for a show on fukushima as it was much worse than chernobyl and no one cared
Cause soviet Russia is cool and fascinating and everyone loves a good train wreck. Also we all lived through Fukushima, so its not as entertaining as Chernobyl.

It is all fake news.

Watch this to the end...

The health data is irrefutable.
Chernobyl and Fukushima DID NOT result in health issues like many people think...until later in life.​

Likewise, as the speaker states, nuclear is the ONLY energy source where waste is captured. All other energy production is excreted into the environment including production of solar and wind turbines leading to more dangerous health problems.

You're right. The French also refurbish their uranium rods. Nuclear power is safe if it is done right. I also get a kick out of people being completely oblivious of all of the nuclear reactors up and down the coasts in naval yards via carriers and sub that seem to not have any issues except for the USS Thresher back in 1963.

As far as the waste, there are many uses for depleted uranium too. Like these thermal nuclear batteries that can deliver 2MW of power for 50 years for small towns that run diesel generators 24/7.

https://techcrunch.com/2014/08/18...batteries/

Yet here we are. Bird chopping farms that last maybe ten years before they are buried in landfills and an endless stream of short lived - low output solar panels that will just add more litter to a landfill. The intellectual minds being plagued by anti-nuclear activism show that we are only interested in placating to an emotional response and not real progress to improve energy efficiency. I personal opinion compare these issues to modern progressivism.

For example, HBO couldn't even get the details of the show right for diversity's sake or outright laziness:

https://www.livescience.com/65766...wrong.html

Not to mention thinks like the emasculation of the doctor over iodine, when it was another problem altogether:

https://cancerletter.com/filmtv/20190524_3/

It's not just this show either, as movies and television has often skewed reality even from when I was a kid in the 80s. You know what they say, whomever is in power controls the truth. Just look at how Stalin had artists erase fellow CCCP members from their history one at a time until he controlled the total narrative. I can't even watch modern TV or movies today because they are so anti nuclear family. Then we have the same people who advocate for that complain about the recent 1.6 birthrate. The people who run things are not that smart, and I see it more now that I am older than ever before.

Quote from artifactowl :
By what metric was it much worse than chernobyl? How many people died from radiation sickness in fukoshima? The answer is none, whereas several dozen people died directly from chernobyl and thousands were exposed to high levels of radiation and likely developed cancer due to the incident. Had the molten core reached the water table, it would have been a disaster of almost unimaginable scale.

I believe there are some new concerns that the material is becoming hotter, with too high a concentration of fissile material. If it continues heating up then that could happen.

Consider this. Multiple countries detonated over 2000 nuclear bombs on or in this planet and only one particle from any one of those detonations is enough to cause cancer in anyone. You are smart to question that narrative.

I wouldn't be surprised if Exxon and BP funded the studies on the dangerous effects of nuclear power. Cheap energy is a blight on the international global business model infecting the world today through 3rd world (nuclear power term) exploitation. The sad part is, people blame capitalism when it's actually a corporate monopolism.

Quote from LtBest :
Chernobyl is interesting because the Russians did it to themselves. Fukushima happened because Tsunami from earthquake.

The only reason I believe Chernobyl is as popular as it is (google Chernobyl movies. . .) was because of it was in Russia. They're the masters at creating huge problems then appearing as heroes when they solve them.

Not bagging on The Bear. US has its problems too. But no one made movie after movie about 3 mile island. (The China Syndrome didn't have "3" or "Mile" or "Island" in the title unlike "Chernobyl Diaries")
Chernobyl was also the first major nuclear reactor incident categorized as a International Nuclear Event Scale (INES) Level 7 event, the highest on the scale. Fukushima the only other level 7. Chernobyl being in Russia isn't the only reason or main reason. The governments handling of it is. This could have occurred in other places and if the handling of it was the same it would have been just as popular. People saw that nuclear power is scary when things go south and proper safety controls aren't present. It exposed the problems nuclear power poses and the dirtiness of it. Japan will soon be releasing contaminated water into the Pacific, years after the "containment" of those meltdowns. Local fishers aren't happy. 3 Mile Island was relatively minor in comparison, although a INES level 5, there are no claims of any deaths direct or indirect so while a scary event, does not match the destruction of Chernobyl which they continue to fight today.

Exactly. BB and GoT get all the attention while these are the real gems. Not to say those are distant 3rd and 4th, cause those are pretty close too.
