You probably also didnt heard about Thorium based molten salt reactors, they are much safer than conventional nuclear, also cheaper, and you can have a 50MW installation in space not much larger than a shipping container. A 50MW solar installation is close to 1km2 and thats without any storage included. It even can be modified to run on spent fuel of conventional nuclear power plants.
Not just plants, wolfs and other animals are quite frequent there also and from studies they have less than 2% birth defects…
That just shows us, that how huge is the nuclear scare propaganda…
