If there were ever a real danger related to nuclear technology on American soil, I'd bet my bottom dollar that it would become a media circus.
I don't care what kind of bias any particular media outlet has; one thing that seems to remain despite the shifts in technology is that if it bleeds it leads.
Even near misses at nuclear plants have dire consequences regarding those involved. I mean, the technology is so "safe," right?
