if you are so sure that they're safe, why not build them in the center of the city, instead of hundreds of miles away where you lose half the electricity in the wires?
do you put a coal powerplant in the middle of a city?
or a solar station?
or a wind farm?
or a metalworks industry?
or a car factory?
or a computer factory?
or a refinery?
I could come with dozens of examples why you don't put industries in the middle of a city.

Uhm, where the heck DO you live?
All these are routinely found in the middle or very near European cities.
portugal, and those are usually in areas that are far from big population centers here.
look, I'm not saying it isn't a problem and I am anti-nuclear, but between coal or gas plants that use the ever dwindling fossil fuels that we extract from politically convoluted areas, and nuclear plants lying around to cover the gap between fossil fuel plants and renewable plants and that actually have a higher energy generation than fossil fuel ones, I take my chances and accept the risks with nuclear.

RADIATION CHARTS!!!
Copypaste of my response in another forum:
Even more interesting would be to backplot and "Sievertize" the cancer risk (since Sievert measures cancer risk) of normal day-to-day things not involving radiation, like for example eating or breathing.
IIRC, the simple act of eating will get you about 50-60mSv worth of cancer risk a year (due to toxins and metabolism in general). Compare this to the exposure limit of 1 mSv/year due to nuclear industry. Or to lung cancer risk due to smoking.
I must remind the people in general however, that bananaphones actually release some amount of radioactivity.
please be careful when using bananaphones. Altho the amount of radiation per single use isn't much, spending most of the day with it at your ear might be harmful for your health.
