I strongly recommend people do not get their nuclear safety information from Dr. Eric here.
Perhaps he's a good doctor or whatever (has a lot of followers so that's good?) but he is unselective about which nuclear risks are or aren't capable of causing large-scale disasters.

I agree that this war is bad and should stop.
If it doesn't stop, it will keep including nuclear safety issues, so we're going to see folks like Dr. Eric say each thing could cause a giant radiation disaster.
This is not helpful in understanding what the real risks are.

Please follow @CherylRofer who knows many of the world's experts with hands on experience with THESE SPECIFIC FACILITIES.
@jrmygrdn is great on these too; he asks technical experts the key questions he needs to understand, then interprets their answers in context for the public.

I watched Eric educate himself about nuclear plants in real time the day Zaporizhzhia was taken.
When he decided his main safety concern was spent fuel, a low-ranking concern for most of us nuclear folks about an OPERATING plant, the limits of learn-as-you-go became clear.

Can an epidemiologist provide cool-headed analysis of nuclear energy to benefit to the public?
Yes!
I work with a team from around the world, both in and out of industry, many self-taught, going night and day to gather information and process it.
This isn't what Eric's doing.

The specific trap Eric stumbled into is the classic "clog the toilet" strategy by organizations trying to eliminate nuclear energy.
They block waste storage while falsely claiming it's a health threat as managed.
The great @whatisnuclear sums it up:
