Three Mile Island killed and hurt no one.
And why decommission nuclear power plants at all? Keep them running indefinitely.
The main advantage of nuclear is it uses the least amount of land and materials per energy produced. And it is the most reliable and consistent.
Also it can be used most places, even underwater.
But nuclear is not sustainable.
When well-managed, it can be a clean and effective source of energy, but the world must still transition to solar, wind, geothermal. Nuclear can fill the gap between the end of fossil fuels and a full renewable energy infrastructure but it can't be relied on forever. There is only enough uranium for the next 200 years.
Which is why thorium reactors are better because there’s 3x the amount of thorium as uranium, and thorium reactors are safer.
