After reading some of the comments, I feel I need to differentiate nuclear power from nuclear batteries, as a nuclear engineer. Nuclear power harnesses heat produced by nuclear fission (splitting atoms in a controlled manner) to heat water into steam to drive large electric turbine generators. Nuclear batteries simply use decay heat from a small amount of a radioactive isotope, like Strontium-90, to heat one end of a thermocouple, inducing a voltage across it. They made for great small power sources in remote, unmanned locations. The Russians also used them for remote Siberian airport runway lights. But in the days of terrorism, the risk of them being stolen and attached to conventional explosives (a "dirty bomb") and promptly dispersing their radiative materials across a small urban area is too great. The chemical properties of Strontium make it seek out bones if ingested (like its relative Calcium) and cause a permanent internal body burden of a highly radioactive source.

[@itsapittie]

Most people have a distorted perception of the dangers of nuclear energy. The U.S. and other militaries have used hundreds of nuclear power plants since the 1950s with a remarkable record of safety. Even considering the reckless disregard for safety practiced by the Soviet Union, they experienced only one incident that actually killed anyone. Quite a few U.S. military installations have been powered by nuclear reactors, including one (now closed) built entirely under the Greenland ice cap. The Chernobyl disaster happened because the Soviets did not include safety features which were standard in other countries' reactors. Fukushima resulted from a perfect storm (literally) of everything that could go wrong converging all at once. Even so, newer reactors have systems in place to prevent such an occurrence. Neither incident involved a nuclear explosion. Chernobyl did spread a lot of radioactive material because they had no containment system (again, standard in other countries). Fukushima resulted in a surprisingly small amount of contamination which is diminishing. Three Mile Island? Total nothing burger. The reaction started to overheat, the safety systems kicked in, and the reactor shut down. No increase in background radiation was detected outside the facility. We have now have the capability to build reactors that literally can't go critical. Atomic batteries are safe if properly maintained but I do recognize the security issues and for the most part they probably shouldn't be put in some remote location and left unattended. However, a limitless supply of electricity can certainly make a remote station less unpleasant for the staff.

[@bsadewitz]

People don't understand that they're falling for the propaganda of fossil fuel interests (mostly). People are like "Oh, would YOU live near a nuclear power plant?" "Um, yeah?" And then they just don't believe me. This is the solution for base load power. It's proven technology staring us all right in the face. Chernobyl required systemic failure at every level to happen. The reactor operators were not even aware of the shortcomings of the reactors they were operating! The design itself was chosen for political reasons. Plus everything you mentioned... the mind boggles.
