In a half century there was ~4 major meltdowns in the world that affect people lives:
1) Kyshtym disaster (57')[1] - it was old production site after WWII - will never be again
2) Chernobyl (86') - stress-testing nuclear plant and disabling all levels of protection - will never be again
3) Fukushima Daiichi (11') - Obsolete block not stopped
Other disasters are not affected anyone outside of the plant, for example Three Mile Island. And that's all! On the other side, hydro plants actually make things much worse to a nature and already killed big rivers in siberia. Fossil-fuel stations (67% of worldwide energy) are even worse.
Nuclear plants are still the safest for environment and the only way to bring electricity to developing world because it can be very cheap. Take a look at B. Gates nuclear reactor: http://terrapower.com/pages/technology
Building some nuclear plants will be able to feed anyone almost forever. Unlike solar energy that you need to keep in batteries for the night. And who say that batteries can't explode? It is looks like fear of flighting: no reason to fear planes and much much more people die in car accidents that in plane one. Same here - much more people die from other sources that from nuclear plant disaster.
