> Finally, using a sensitivity analysis, we consider which other aspects of nuclear energy deployment, apart from climate change, have the potential to overturn the ultimate ethical verdict on investments in nuclear energy. Out of several potential considerations (e.g., nuclear waste, accidents, safety), we suggest that its potential interplay — whether beneficial or adverse — with the proliferation of nuclear weapons is the most plausible candidate.
Ok good, I think this is true. With modern nuclear plant designs, it definitely seems like meltdowns or waste disposal are a far smaller concern than putting such powerful tech in the hands of extremely suspect governments

It’s just still more of a concern than meltdowns because of how crazy safe modern nuclear designs are
