I think one of the biggest issues with nuclear power is that they are designed to last decades yet they need to bee maintained properly operate safely over time, which can be a bit expensive and responsibility shifts over time so it gets "forgotten" easily and leaders can blame their predecessors if something bad happens.

Here is a research about the safety status of nuclear power plants in switzerland: https://correctiv.org/top-stories/2018/09/12/brandgefaehrlic... - sadly in german only

The same issue with roads and bridges in the US.

Holes in roads and bridges tend not to be as catastrophic as holes in reactors.

Nice try though.

If we can't even keep our bridges up, my confidence in maintaining nukes properly for decades is nil.
