I guess they think it is dangerous. It can be, as Chernobyl demonstrated, but then other forms of energy are also dangerous. Think of accidents to coal miners, oil refinery explosions, and natural gas explosions.
Nuclear power plants do not produce greenhouse gas emissions during operations, so climate change is not a direct risk associated with nuclear power. However, other risks such as radioactive waste, potential for accidents, and nuclear proliferation are concerns related to nuclear power.
The Three Mile Island nuclear accident in 1979, where a partial meltdown occurred at a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania, sparked concern among Americans about the safety of nuclear power. The incident led to increased scrutiny of nuclear plants and raised questions about the potential risks associated with nuclear energy.
B. Many Americans began to worry about nuclear power. The accident at Three Mile Island raised concerns about the safety of nuclear power among the general public and led to increased scrutiny and regulations on the nuclear industry.
There are currently (year 2013) 31 countries having nuclear power reactors. The rest are not having nuclear power.
The power output of a nuclear power plant can vary, but on average, a typical nuclear power plant produces around 1,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity. This can vary depending on the size and design of the plant.

Nuclear Power is NOT NECESSARY. So many people die when there's a nuclear explosion. It is also really bad for the environment.
I do, but many other people don't
Mostly about 536,000 people so far
Many people began to question whether nuclear power was safe. People began to be fearful of the dangers of nuclear power.Source: e2020 Topic Test

Nuclear power is a very strong source of energy with a high power density. It can produce large amounts of electricity consistently and reliably. However, the strength of nuclear power also brings risks, such as potential accidents and the issue of radioactive waste.
Chernobyl
none, australia is not a nuclear power
