    Yes, BUT the risk isn’t distributed like the rest. One Reactor could displace tens of millions of people, disrupt infrastructure, and cause devastating impact to the US economy. That’s a lot of risk based on it’s proximity. If they could build them in the middle of nowhere out west that could all be mitigated.

      Right. Most don’t understand that risk is not just measured by frequency alone, but also by severity.

      Nuclear is off the charts once you consider the full magnitude of a failure.
