More people die in motor vehicle accidents in one year in Saskatchewan than have been killed in nuclear accidents world wide in the last 75 years. More people die in Canada in two weeks by suicide than have been killed in nuclear accidents world wide in the last 75 years.

The danger of nuclear accidents is one issue that has affected public support for nuclear power.

And of course, downstream, the dangers and damage of 'disposing of' radioactive waste.
All enter into consideration, and all are factors in minimal support for nuclear power.
