The fact that Chernobyl was brought up here as a con to nuclear power interesting. It represents a failed attempt at controlling technology that wasn't so greatly understood 50 years ago now.
Thing is how many nuclear plants have been built since and how many more Chernobyl events have occurred? How many of them have been caused by natural disasters which we generally don't experience here in Australia?
Its a blend situation. The true reason nuclear is held back is due to the uranium factor. It isn't abundant and no nation really trusts selling it abroad because not all of it would be used for power. This limits the capability to profit off the product unless we start throwing caution to the wind.
