2 US Nuclear subs have gone down, neither because of the power plant
and it's been decades since that happened

We had drills all the time, they are very safe and monitored.
I wore a badge that monitored radiation, I didn't get very much at all, no one did
Underway, no one had colds, because of the purified air. We drank water that was so pure, it barely had any flavor
If you have interest in it, read about this guy

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
