Is nuclear power safe??

I will agree with you that no form of energy production is perfectly safe, but the dangerous effects of radiation is not as bad as most people think. For example the worst radiation problem in history is supposed to be in Chernobyl, Russia. However, plant, animal, and human life was hardly damaged there. Some scientists have tried to claim an increase of cancer occured, but the only thing that can actually be agreed upon is some farmers who drank contaminated milk that Russia new about and kept quiet. So, radiation concerns are mostly unfounded. Of course anything in excess can be harmful!

Sorry for my rambling and nothing to back myself up with. 404 is a good source for the actual number of directly related deaths of the event which it says 50. The quote from the source describes my views of Chernobyl
This was a very serious accident with major health consequences, especially for thousands of workers exposed in the early days who received very high radiation doses, and for the thousands more stricken with thyroid cancer. By and large, however, we have not found profound negative health impacts to the rest of the population in surrounding areas, nor have we found widespread contamination that would continue to pose a substantial threat to human health, within a few exceptional, restricted areas.With that I conclude that radiation is not a big threat to human life.
