It's not like a nuke plant would have a spontaneous nuke bomb type explossion.
Even Chernobyl (the rusty, neglected at that time broken/broke Russia) Today(saw on tv) has a blossoming plant & animal haven. Reason given was that there was no human presence in the area. A little window on what would happen if human presence disappear  |
Chernobyl actually has an alarmingly high cancer rate. Hundreds of thousands were exposed. Yeah there are plants and animals, but the plants have arms and the animals glow in the dark. You can't reason and justify safety based on the number of deaths. We've had nuclear reactor for decades, but we are only just starting to understand the long term effects.
