Uninhabitable by humans. Chernobyl created a nature preserve in an instant. The coal pollution you’ve inhaled has affected you more than all 3 of these nuclear disasters.
This was true a decade ago but since then renewables have plummeted in price. Solar is 5x cheaper than it was a decade ago. Nuclear, meanwhile, has gone up in price by 50%.

Chernobyl is an acceptable outcome for you? Scary af
Chernobyl was a worst case scenario. It has affected millions of people and will have an unknown death toll due to the inability to measure it.
It’s still less harmful than any non renewal able energy source.
Nuclear is a safe, intermediate bandaid while we find a long term solution.

3800 people a year die from coal plant pollution in the US alone; there are, in fact, much worse things than Chernobyl
Great reasons to not use coal either.
So then anything not as bad is A-OK?
More nuclear = less coal, that’s the thrust of like half of the comments here dude
I mean, we are using less coal in the US than we were… and that’s without more nuclear.
Coal emits more radioactive particles into the air than nuclear power plants
Right, but arguably more when they have catastrophic failures
