Nuclear is a little different generally our TV transmission doesn't bother anyone else

It's still taking a chance. These are not responsible people and they have a lot of control.

With international regulation boards nuclear is a lot stricter then coal, wind, hydro, solar what ever.
In fact a hydro plant failing would probably kill more people then a nuclear plant incident.

With hydro, people can move in again after they've cleared the dead bodies.

People are still living around Chernobyl . https://phys.org/news/2016-08-dr-congo-city-poisoned-years.html
Guess they can be lucky it wasn't nuclear and that copper and Cobalt is being used for clean power.

Remember arsenic has no half life and will keep killing.

Former coal plant near Pittsburgh is poisoning groundwater: Report

Groundwater near the site contains arsenic levels 372 times higher than safety threshold. Coal ash sites across the U.S. are seeing similar contamination.

With nuclear we at least track the containment and try keep it safe

This is the results of a choppy power supply. It might be 'cheap' to install but the consumer ends up paying.
