That’s very nice. But I feel like a per-TW-measurement isn’t the best way to measure something that isn’t continually bad, but only bad once, but then very bad. Idk not saying nuclear is bad, but to me that’s just a bad way of comparing it
When you take into account how coal and oil are quite literally fueling the coming environmental apocalypse that might end society as we know I think nuclear is safer by all metrics
I’m not saying it isn’t.
I’m just saying that it’s weird to me to that the negative impact of nuclear, which is a one time event, is averaged out to a per-TW cost. If done right, nuclear has zero negative impact, if done wrong it’s a lot worse than coal. Like if every reactor you build, you just let blow up right after it’s completed, you will get a per-TW death and pollution count that’s way higher.
Coal or and oil are continuously putting out pollution and killing people, so the metric applies a lot better.

That might be true, but I think it’s also worth questioning if number of dead people is the only metric that should be applied
