Fukushima was a tsunami that devastated the entire area. The levels of radiation being leaked in the ocean are still well within the limits of regulation. Chernobyl was Russian engineering at it's worst. US has had 0 nuclear accidents from power plants. You're just fear mongering.

just a slight correction. a nuclear accident occurred at Three Mile Island in PA back in 1979 but fortunately the safety system worked and was contained by the containment system. I grew up in Waterford near Millstone and work for the USN on nuke subs and support nuke power 100%.

So that isn't an accident. That's the system running as designed.

technically it was an accident (partial meltdown) because of a system failure related to system operation and human error and subsequently coolant loss but a back up system prevented a catastrophe so yes the system worked. I would agree with you that our nuke systems are some of the safest in the world.
