I'm not arguing about whether we should or shouldn't use nuclear energy. We should.

> 1. Only six reactors have had meltdowns, partial meltdowns, serious core damage, or fatalities.

If we assume that everything above INES[0] level 4 is already serious enough, then there were 11 accidents [1] and around 4484 fatalities (mostly 4000 indirect from Chernobyl but still).

> Gen 4 reactors have gravity driven control rods, passive cooling systems, core catchers, safer fuel, and moderators.

And yet, 100% safety is not achievable. But the risk is probably quite acceptable now.
