It's not the safest by any margin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_power_accident s_by_country

From that link...

Relatively few accidents have involved fatalities, with roughly 74 casualties being attributed to accidents and half of these were those involved in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.[6]

Compare that to estimated 7 million killed every year by pollution from burning fossil fuels.

#Nuclear is an expensive, uninsurable, unviable tech kept afloat by usually authoritarian government subsidies that produced waste that will be around for thousands of years.

Nuclear fission is a dead end technology.

Wind, Solar and Battery tech will be in place in a fraction of the time and for less cost.

How many people died in Somalia due to nuclear waste?

None confirmed from any of the reports I could find, but feel free to post credible evidence otherwise.

None confirmed and yet the waste is there dumped in the wild, do the math
