There was tremendous environmental damage with nukes. It was your example. Nuclear power, while pretty safe , is limited because of the fear of long lasting environmental damage. Mother Earth could never claim back the damage if it were widespread. Nukes are something we are pretty good with. I wish we treated the other potential degredations with the same caution.
Water from your faucet, depending on where you live, is polluted or jammed with chemicals.
Construction, farmers and the like are well clothed and loaded with sunblock (another new booming business) When we were kids there was no such thing as sunblock. Not needed.
Your fish was likely farm raised. Adult perch from a Wisconsin waterway is loaded with mercury.
You can eat, drink and breathe anything you want. But it ain't good for you. And the contaminations I mentioned are all a relatively new phenomenon (in our lifetime).
