Anti-Nuclear Trend in the Western Left? (lemmygrad.ml)

Okay so I was scrolling through the PSL's info page, and it is stated that they are to denuclearize the power grid. Why is this? I was under the impression that Nuclear Energy is the much more sustainable and frankly realistic source of power--even without Molten Salt Reactors and Thorium based ones.

 Im finding it most orgs tend to stay away from Nuclear energy due to fear mongering from fossil fuel industries; Thus its stain in the imperial core, reaching from liberals to western "leftists". But I am surprised the PSL, a radical organization, is anti-nuclear.

   FYI this isn't a deal breaker or anything--they seem to be taking the lead for vanguard party--just was curious of the stance on nuclear energy.

Semi-related, but do you ever find it interesting that Chernobyl disaster is known pretty much all over the world and became pretty much synonymous with "nuclear incident", while the Three Mile Island is barely heard of? Funny that

Interesting and yet not surprising at all, as we know anti-communism is baked into the modern western consciousness. In the minds of those who even know there was a serious nuclear accident in the USA it's an innocent capitalist industrial accident vs. inept communist hubris and corruption. Even though many of the socio-political under and over reactions to the events are very similar.
