I see your youtuber, and raise you Scientific American with quotes by actual doctors and nuclear technicians. In detail, the article explores all of the myriad ways that nuclear power is the opposite of kissable. My fav? Illinois isn't on a fault line, but they send all of their spent nuclear fuel to Nevada, where it is stored on a fault line.
