People falsely believe it’s dangerous–like they falsely believe airplanes are more dangerous than cars.
They’re swayed by emotion & don’t consider the evidence.

4/ Only ~200 people have died as a result of radiation from a nuclear accident in 60+ yrs.

6/ Similarly, most countries don’t want their energy to depend on China.
Yet China has a chokehold on 99% of the core ingredients for making solar panels.
By contrast, a country can store decades of cheap nuclear fuel within its own borders.

8/ Nuclear power is 3.5X more reliable than solar.
The capacity factor is a measure of reliability.
A plant with a capacity factor of 100% is producing maximum power 100% of the time.
