I'd like to point out that using the term "nuclear" like that refers only to nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion, generating power by combining light atoms, generates minimal radiation*, has a higher potential energy output than fission, has zero risk of "meltdown" (any failure would only affect the building itself), is cheap once set up, is clean and is renewable (uses hydrogen as fuel).
*The products aren't radioactive. The fuel is, but only weakly so and will obviously be used up in the process. The fuel only has a short half-life of 12 years, so there isn't a storage problem.
