The only "rabid" reply here is yours. All the others have politely pointed out that you were incorrect.
> >Radiophobia

Read the definition: "...leading to overestimating the health risks of radiation compared to other risks."
You do exactly that. And when people point the actual risk, you immediately go to the ad-hominem and smear them. And at the same time accuse them of smearing you.
> I think you should be ashamed of yourselves for denying the pain and suffering of so many people "for a greater purpose".
Nobody here has done that.
However, you are denying the pain and suffering of the people who suffer due to us not adopting more nuclear power.
The adoption of nuclear power had saved an estimated 1.8 million lives by 2011.
Conversely, the turning off of nuclear power plants or delaying/cancelling of new builds post Chernobyl has caused hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives.
We estimate that the decline in NPP caused by Chernobyl led to the loss of approximately 141 million expected life years in the U.S., 33 in the U.K. and 318 million globally
