I'd have to disagree that there is nothing to worry about...the impact of this nuclear accident is going to be long-term, and I wonder how long it will be until the exclusion zone becomes habitable again.
Given that they are now finding radioactivity in groundwater and in the ocean near the plant

There's also some interesting information about the carbon footprint here

Also, I'm not sure how having a smaller carbon footprint can make nuclear power plants safer?
