Three Mile Island was the worst nuclear accident in US history. Was mainly caused by poor design of human feedback systems which caused operational confusion and lead to a catastrophic failure.

How dumb. Solar and Wind are SOO much cheaper per kWh than Nuclear and fossils. With them also comes the benefit of decentralisation. With 1.6B you could install so much more Watts of power with wind turbines and solar parks with the added benefit of less carbon and less nuclear waste and less chance of boom.

Interesting. What is the chance a nuclear plant goes boom? Sounds legit.

I mean, I guess it might be cheaper to start up a nuclear plant again than to build a new solar/wind farm. There's also someone below who claims that nuclear is actually cheaper.
