there are several issues addressed in the article, from memory ill some up the points

3 mile island: vary low resualting injury/death
(wikipedia:In the end, the reactor was brought under control. No identifiable injuries due to radiation occurred (a government report concluded that "the projected number of excess fatal cancers due to the accident ... is approximately one."))

charnobal: old reactor design compared to today's standerds

materal useable for nuclear weapons: the materal's are structured specificly for nuclear power and takes a lot of work to restructure for weapons purposes

waste: waste can be reduced as the materal after use is still radioactive and can be used for further power generation

radiation: held by the plant's structure(duh, this is kind of obvious dont you think?)

thats all i can remember right now about the article
