> Nuclear plants do not "blow up".

The reactor of Chernobyl did blow up. Just not like a nuclear bomb, if that's what you meant. Which may be a bad thing, Hiroshima is actually inhabitable.

>People are unreasonably scared of nuclear energy, and we might lose a planet because of this.

People are quite reasonably scared of nuclear energy. What's unreasonable is that they are less scared of global warming.

Your data is not convincing -- in fact, I think it does not address the danger of nuclear and fossil energy at all. Using fossils kill a fairly predictable number of people each year. For a country, let alone humanity as a whole, that is not a danger but a cost.
