For sure - I am old enough to have a bit of Chernobyl in me too. At the same time, there is quite a difference between today and 1986 Ukraine. Fukushima was a bit of a freak event - bad design for sure though and that is always a risk.
It is all part of progress though and perhaps it is better to go "out with a bang" than wither slowly into oblivion.
Battery tech has a very long way to go still, but just imagine if development had continued for the last 100 years, instead of combustion engines taking hold.
