When you say "many" you cited people in Australia. Does that speak or is that representative, for the entire world?
Also, my opinion of Australians is slightly shifted after reading that information, but who knows how they crafted that survey. Did they compare it to living next to a coal-fired plant? I am not able to easily find the survey methodology.
Anyhow,the science is abundantly clear that there is no reason to fear living near a nuclear power plant.

Tbf, you can find a lot of other sources that show an increased risk. It’s one of those areas where we need credible experts rather than layman interpretations.
