Three Mile Island was the worst nuclear accident in US history. Was mainly caused by poor design of human feedback systems which caused operational confusion and lead to a catastrophic failure.

I think it’s fine if Microsoft has their own nuclear power plant as long as every Microsoft corporate officer is required to live downwind of it. ✌🏻
Um… you realize that nuclear doesn’t give of any pollutants?
Three mile island certainly gave off pollution. Scientists are studying if people downwind of it ended up getting thyroid cancer as a result.

It does emit heat. If using a flowing water source like a river for cooling, it does raise the temperature of the water a measurable amount, which must be accounted for in an environmental impact analysis.
But that’s still leagues better than burning fossil fuels.
Agree
Microsoft already works on nuclear stewardship + the NIF, how much worse could it possibly be?
