Correct. The right questions to ask is not 'But what about Chernobyl' (which is unlikely in most countries) but instead:
What about decommissioning costs?
Fukushima is a good example of costs from a normal accident we can expect from time to time. Costs are at 200b USD and rising, and they still don't have the reactor site under control.
Even normal decommissioning is incredibly expensive and usually covered by governments and ignored in the costs of electricity.
Nuclear fusion (if we ever get to commercial production), will make nuclear much more attractive again though and cut decommissioning costs a bit (though there is still the question of how to deal with reactor parts).
