Well,
xkcd's radiation chart is actually not badly put together at all, and gives a good overview.
I know, barring an accident, if/when I work around plants, I'm probably going to be receiving less radiation from them than I currently am recieving from living in Atlanta X3
I guess though, one of the main things to keep in mind about nuclear power is that people are afraid of it for the same reason people are afraid of flying; while flying is much much much safe than a car wreck, plane accidents tend to be more scarey and cause more damage deaths in one incident, even though soooo many more people die every year from car accidents.
Nuclear plants vs Coal power plants are the same way. People die mining, and get trapped in coal mines far more often than we like. Including Fukishima, there have only been 3 accidents in the history of nuclear engineering, and all three happened by a serious of very unlucky events, with the only really bad accident being chernobyl.
Not to mention, coal power plants release sooooo many toxins into the air, while nuclear power (not counting Fusion) releases extremly minute amounts of highly toxic stuff, which are kept together in safe containers and things like that, unlike the large amount of CO2 being released into the air.
If you'd like, i can explain what happened with each of those three events, it's pretty sad how much crap went wrong to trigger each of them @.@
