Big news worthy accidents are a really good way to ensure strong regulation and oversight. And nuclear is very regulated now so that it has lower death rate than wind power.
No, they just have a super incredulous public so even inconsequencal things get blown way out of proportion in the news. So there’s more oversight.
It’s like flying, but to an even greater extent. Because people are afraid of flying and crashes are very public and news worthy, the FAA does a great job investigating incidents and requiring safety improvements. They’ve made it so flying is orders of magnitude safer than driving. A similar thing happens with nuclear. Because the public is scared, the news covers, so the government makes sure it is very safe.

Not that driving was safe anyway
It’s a risk virtually everyone considers accountable.
