Yeah, it is quite startling to see the difference in physical fuel use between a coal plant and a nuclear plant.
And the really funny thing is that a coal plant releases far more radiation than a nuke plant.

100%, there is natural rock formations that emit more radiation than nuclear power plants, hell the US Capitol building was rezoned as a nuclear power plant half of DC would need to be evacuated an exclusion zone setup without any change to the building or fuel brought to the site. The granite used in it’s construction exceeds the legal limit that nuclear power plants are allowed. Meanwhile self professed environmentalists are anti-nuclear energy despite it having the least impact environmentally per kw produced.
