Basically the one nation I would have most trusted to handle nuclear safely, Japan, couldn't even do it. The issue these days is not that the plants themselves are unsafe, it's that we live on a active and changing planet, and accidents can and will always happen because of so-called acts of God. The problem is that nuclear, when it goes bad, tends to go mega ultra bad in ways that are very environmentally destructive and heinously expensive to clean up. So even if there is only 1/10000 the accident rate at nuclear plants that there are at other power plants, the consequences can be a million times worse.
