Chernobyl didn't have a containment dome, so when it went bad loss of containment was guaranteed. It was basically a nuclear reactor in a warehouse.
Nuclear uses the least resources, uses the least land, has the least environmental impact and makes the least CO2 of anything that we can actually build more of.
Ya hydro makes hardly any CO2 but where we going to put it?
Geo thermal is pretty low but to make a geo thermal steam plant starts at 20 million dollars and something like 3/4 projects that start drilling never finish drilling, are abandoned before the hole is finished or are shutdown within 2 years because of toxic corrosive gases in the steam.
