Default Safety of Nuke Power

as to hiroshima they were really low yield weapons detonated at higher
altitude, which caused more damage but created less radioactive
debris. no doubt this helped in rebuilding.

plus the types of radiation from a nuke plant was different from
hiroshima.

long lived highly enriched nastys in reactors are highly dangerous.
