This is an often misquoted fact. The study that compared coal and nuclear was only studying air pollutants, and obviously the steam stacks from nuclear reactors don’t have as much radionuclide pollutants as coal. However, the study did not look at other sources like wastewater - which is where most radionuclide pollution from nuclear reactors comes from (along with other sources like spent fuel, casings, and moderator rods).

Well I would argue beta decay is an aging-like property inherent in atoms. Granted, the half-lives are pretty long, but a limit still technically exists in that respect.

Out of touch execs still chasing metrics instead of focusing on quality. Their desperation betrays the awareness that an end is near.
