Now you’re just being silly
Did Alexander Litvinenko die of polonium poisoning or the fear of it? Did all those people who went into the Chernobyl reactor room have their bodies break down out of fright?

My point is that stress over radioactivity causes more harm to the human population that the radioactive materials themselves
not that an individual exposed to lethal radiation won't die.

Holy shit yes.
It's one of the cleanest and least harmful methods we have, and our best hope at surviving the next couple of centuries.
It is green energy because it emits zero carbon, just steam. The waste products make more fuel, the associated waste (such as used PPE, metals, glass, water, concrete, etc) and what's left over from the depleted fuel can and should be stored in such a way as to produce useful energy too (the stuff is literally hot, so chuck it down a sufficiently engineered hole and stick a geothermal power plant on top), or make a fucking huge RTG to power your Van Neumann probe or whatever).
