<<The problem with nuclear is a combination of politics, regulation and costs. Political opposition, an expensive regulatory process, and high construction costs, and the main reasons we don't get a lot more of our electricity from nuclear power plants. That political opposition is mostly driven by safety concerns, but those concerns, even for older reactor designs and esp. for more modern reactors, often don't reasonably reflect the actual risks.>.

No, the problem with nuclear energy is it potential. What if 3 miles island had melted down, or blown up, and ran into that river?
