You know what they've said for the last 50 years -- fusion power is only 50 years away!
I worked at a nuclear research facility. I wasn't worried a bit about the radiation, and I was actually there for a small release. We live with natural radiation all the time. Coal power puts far more radioactivity in the air than a nuclear plant does. Chernobyl probably caused fewer cancers over 20 years than we lose to Covid19 in a day (but hey, I loved the miniseries).
