True. And though the actual pollution of the accident were not that significant, it ruined the image of nuclear power as a source of energy.

But nuclear reactor design has improved greatly over the last decades, and if it is safe enough for the nimitz type carriers and nuclear subs, then it can be safe enough for civilian use.
