Core damage frequency of modern plants is in the 1e-6 to 1e-8 range/year. That's 4-6 orders of magnitude lower than 1%.
I highly recommend you read some recent info regarding Chernobyl [1]. I'm not downplaying it at all. I'm using quantitative numbers produced by teams of UN and WHO scientists.
RE cost: climate change will cost trillions. Nuclear power plants can prevent that cost.
"Centuries" is a persistent anti-nuclear myth. Again, see [1]. I don't think you're well justified in saying I'm downplaying Chernobyl when you're going on and saying stuff like this!
