And need I bring up Godzilla?

Godzilla just wants to live. Why don't you leave him alone?

But if a nuclear plant with such poor controls and vulnerable infrastructure wasn't there in the first place, an unexpected but far from unlikely natural disaster wouldn't have caused the even greater and far longer-lasting unnatural disaster that followed. Which is my point.

And if San Francisco hadn't been there, the San Francisco earthquake wouldn't have been such a disaster either.

The point is that power plants using other sources are generally speaking dirtier throughout their whole lives and so they are bound to affect communities more and for longer. Chernobyl and Fukushima are extreme examples of things that went wrong several times over.

even one such accident can render large portions of the environment unlivable for ages. 

Lolwut?

The Exclusion Zone today has more wild fauna than anywhere else in Europe.
(Basically because hoomins ran away.)

And that was the worst accident in history.
