The nuclear industry has a very good safety record and I would much rather rely on nuclear than coal or gas for power. Figure 2 catastrophic failures in 60 years (and contrary to public opinion, TMI was very well contained) with nuclear power generation.
I know of at least three. Not to mention suspected failures in portables.
Are you aware that fly ash from coal plants release 1000s of times more radiation on an annual basis than has ever been released from a nuclear plant? There is plenty of Uranium on this planet, it's not really rare. Besides that, the waste fuel can be re-used (but currently isn't due to government policies, not from any technical reason) and the supply can be extended for several usage cycles.
