The disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima are symptoms of a greater issue: construction and maintenance of an extremely volatile and sensitive process reliant upon the integrity of infrastructure and quality of manpower.

Nuclear requires a stable society and economy flush with resources and education and little to no risk of political stability.

Those places are welcome to invest heavily into nuclear while CO2 concentrations build up as emmissions continue unabated.
