    Because the radioactive bits need to be handled by trained and trusted personnel because if those bits fall into the wrong hands they can be used for some horrible shit

        If I install solar panels and the inverters incorrectly I could potentially harm or kill myself and others. Therefore solar isn’t safe.

        Have you ever been in a coal fired plant? Or even easier, been around a coal furnace for home heating? What about industrial environments?

        That shit isn’t safe.

        There are different levels of safety, personal reactors are on the other side of a cultural shift.

        Everything can be unsafe if in the wrong hands

        There are different degrees of safety associated with all things and we as a society have deemed nuclear power plants and their fuel as something that should only be in the hands of those trained and trusted in how to use it
