I agree with you 100%. It would make me feel better too. However, with only one major exception (Chernobyl), nuclear power has an excellent safety record. I think we hear the worse, so we assume the worse. Of course a catastrophic failure at a nuke plant would be quite a bit worse than a catastrophic failure of a wind farm. But it can happen...
