"Even accounting for nuclear disasters like Chernobyl, which caused an estimated 9,000 cancer deaths"

Estimated using the ridiculously conservative and debunked LNT model. 

"nuclear power is one of the safest ways to generate electricity (contrary to popular belief)"

Now why didn't the author use a more detailed sentence here? According to the graph in the article....IT IS THE SAFEST !!! Not just "one of".....it's by far the safest. Its safer than Wind, Solar, Hydro, Gas, Coal, Dung, Wood and Hamsters on wheels spinning generators.
