For 12 years I lived about 4 blocks away from a decommissioned research reactor, and downwind and downstream of a major reactor complex. Never caused me concern because I've actually looked into the statistics and understand a concept called comparative risk. People rant and rave about "nuclear" just how bad and dangerous something becomes, simply by attaching an adjective to it. My mother is still alive thanks to nuclear technology. In her case the nuclear medicine used to treat her cancer 30 years ago.
