minus-squareDupaCycki@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 days agoAlmost all deaths from both nuclear and hydro are caused by major accidents like Chernobyl or the Banqiao Dam. Which makes you think, considering coal power plants still cause infinitely more deaths - and that’s just standard operation.
