> Sure, but such support — particularly from industry in the absence of even greater subsidies for which there is no public support — does not exist anyway, nor is a meltdown even remotely likely.
Globally, we've had 2 major meltdowns in the last 25 years. There have been many near misses. Three mile island was only a 'partial' meltdown, but it happened right here in the US, in 1979.
I don't know why you think a meltdown is "not even remotely likely".

Newer reactor designs are less likely to have a meltdown. 1979 was 23 years into having commercial nuclear reactors. It's been 40 years, presumably we've learned a lot since then.
