  1. It could have been much worse (a hydrogen explosion in the core wessel, that would have exposed the core in a "Fukushima fashion" had been avoided by pure luck, since there was nothing the operators could do about it). It killed nuclear simply because the new safety measures introduced after TMI to avoid similar incidents made so that the nuclear plants are no more economically viable. Nuclear energy simply costs too much. Various kinds of renevables reached grid parity with fossil fuels, nuclear never managed to do so. I have to add that 40 years of safe operations in any non-nuclear power plant is nothing to write home about, and none of them requires 6 years of shut down for manteinance.

  2.  @artruisjoew5473  I was talking of exposition of the core. The way that happens may vary. In Fukushima there had been an exposition of the core and fuel is now lying on the floor of the second unit reactor's room as well as hanging from the reactor's vessel. Please do more thorough research before posting, or childlishly trying to correct people that knows better.

  3. Imagine there are cheaper and safer alternatives to commercial flight to go anywere in the same time. How much commercial flights will survive?
