  • Three Mile Island was a partial meltdown, which may sound close to an actual meltdown, it’s not even close in terms of danger.

    Fukushima failed because the plants were old and not properly upkept. Had they followed the guidelines for keeping the plant maintained, it would not have happened.

    That’s not really the fault of nuclear power.

    Chernobyl was also partially caused by lack of adherence to safety measures, but also faulty plant design.

    I’d say, being generous, only one of those three events says anything about the safety of nuclear power, and even then, we have come a very long way.

    So one event… Ever.
