    The biggest misconception is that it’s uncontrollably dangerous

    Emphasis on the work uncontrollably. Chernobyl and nuclear bombs seem to have given people the impression that if/when an accident does occur, it is inevitably going to be massive, devastating, with effects lasting for generations, like a sort of unintentional nuclear bomb. The very word “nuclear” has a meaning of something drastic, explosive and extreme.
