That’s one hell of a claim. In fact such an outrageously bold one that you shouldn’t be able to post a comment like that without citing a reputable source.
The consequence of this legitimate fear is crazy security and the cost of it. To the point where the cost of nee nuclear now struggles to compete with renewables. The new generation plants EPR are catastrophic in terms of budget and schedule.

Basically since the dawn of nuclear power plants we knew it was the cleanest form of energy generation. That was literally its selling point.
The problem was the fear of radiation if shit went wrong.
