Air pollution in France is responsible for more than 40 thousands deaths every year. Nuclear power, well, Chernobyl in total is estimated at around 10 thousands deaths total. In France it's actually 0 since the radioactive cloud stopped at the border /s.

This is a portable reactor for use by the army.
So the question is what would you rather be hit by a missile? A nuclear reactor or a diesel engine?
The emissions of a diesel engine are irrelevant here because that's a specific use-case that is going to be negligible compared to emissions by cars and industry in general (or even by the army).
