Tannersfriend: (OT: I guess Rainer also knows a lot about safe nuclear technology and its acceptance.)

Absolutely! There's a huge gap between the actual risk of nuclear power and its public perception. In fact nuclear power is safer than any other electricity generation methods (yes, including renewables).

For a start, I recommend to read resp. listen to

• Want to kill fewer people? Go nuclear
• The risk perception gap: David Ropeik at TEDxWaldenPond
