I studied physics at university, I also had the opportunity to visit Fukushima Daichi after the catastroph and one of the new EPR. Enrichied fuel used in nuclear power plants and the byproducts of the reactions are dangerous. The multiple security measures are not there for the pleasure of spending budget.

Dangerous, but slightly less so than you'd think.

Unless you already know that LNT is bullshit.

Also, the evacuation of Fukushima caused far more death than any radiation exposure.
