A hydro damn breaking has killed more people than Chernobyl before, and probably will again. Renewables are not perfect either unfortunately. Though some are slightly safer than nuclear.

Most are safer than nuclear, but until the environmental cost of manufacturing them is outweighed by the benefit of their use then nuclear is the least intolerable stopgap.

Wait are you saying that renewables have too much environmental cost to make?

Nobody wants dams. It's not just dangerous, It's also ecocide.

Since when? There are dams all over the place.
