Exactly WHAT happened in Fukushima?
How many people died?
How many people can you, even pessimistically, estimate will die?
How many people die each day mining coal, or by coal power pollution, drowning because a dam failed, etc... etc...
Do those calculations and then maybe realize that nuclear power is not that much worse at all with respect to other sources.
