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.

What?
Coal plants are the ones that produce radioactive smog. Nuclear plants just put off steam. The radioactive material doesn’t come into contact with the clean water loop that is used to spin the turbine and generate power unless something is catastrophically wrong.
The dangerous byproduct, spent fuel rods, are stored in pools buried deep, and radioactivity is drastically abetted by the spent rods being submerged in water.
Seriously, you anti nuclear people are like anti vaxxers. It’s very minimal reading to learn how this shit works so that you can have valid critique, but no, that’s too tough.
And as you called “anti-nuclear people” “anti-vaxxers” I might add that those small nuclear reactors are such a tech bro bullshit.
I can just repeat myself while al of your mentioned facts are facts (although I do not know of any storage anywhere which is save for thousands of years). Of course Nuclear is infinitely better than fossils. The most important thing most people do not talk about however is price per kWh. And if you were to read up on that you would see that Nuclear is pretty bad. Just investing the money in renewables (which Nuclear also is not) gives way more value.
