I notice you didn't come back to me on my last point. Maybe that's something we can agree on ;)

I strongly expect to see zero major radiation releases from reactors that are generation III or later.

If we keep running very old reactors, I'm less confident. And I have not done sufficient research on "II+"

That might feel to you like a concession, point of compromise, but for us that's still a dangerously too high bar that puts the environment at risk.

That's the nub of my whole argument. I see nuclear energy via fission, as too a big risk.
