I'd like to see that "accident". The impact of full blown nuclear reactor meltdowns (Chernobyl, Fukushima) on human lives are tiny, even when the secondary effects of radioactive pollution are considered. The impact on the biosphere in general may even be a net positive.

Lets face it, the one and only problem if nuclear energy is that people are scared of it. And even if nothing is melting down, there's the ever present boogie man of nuclear waste... never mind the fact that you could swim in a pool of spent fuel rods and you'd get (less than) background radiation dose and never mind the fact that all of the nuclear waste humanity has ever produced would fit into a footbal stadium and never mind the fact that we can recycle a lot of the spent fuel these days.
