19. How many people have been killed by the most unsuccessful disasters?
Answer, less in total over the entire anticipated life of "disastrous" results, than are killed (directly and indirectly) every month in generating equitable amounts of power with coal.
Every single nuke plant on the planet could go the full Chernobyl (an impossible scenario) and the results in terms of lost life would still not hold a candle to coal.
Talking up nuclear power'a drawbacks best serves governments who prefer to reserve the technology for military uses. Solutions exist and have existed in principle from the very first days of the Manhattan Project. Why has this open avenue been deliberately blocked for all purposes except weapon's research for over sixty years?
