Are the long term effects of nuclear power detrimental for all of us?

Most of us, and that includes virtually everyone in North America and Western Europe, have suffered no damage from nuclear power, and provided the industry is well run and radioactive waste is well handled in the future, that should continue to be true. As you probably know, a very bad disaster happened in the Ukraine at Chernobyl, and some people who worked at the plant died, and others who lived nearby received high radiation doses. That sort of accident is totally unacceptable and everyone in the industry, designers and operators, is dedicated to not allowing something like that again. The major worry now is probably from terrorism, and we must stop any attempt to damage nuclear plants. But to imply as you do that all of us may suffer from nuclear power is in my opinion quite wrong.
