You'd be amazed at how many nuclear incidents there have been that most people don't know about, including one reactor explosion. Wikipedia has lists broken down by military or civilian related accidents.
As a former reactor operator in training I support nuclear power, but I do think there's much better ways to improve Americas energy situation than by building a large number of new plants. Putting that money into researching other alternatives would do better, but right now everyone's just lost their minds making random suggestions to see what voters will bite on to be reeled in.
