I lived for decades in walking distance from a NPP, then I educated myself on the subject, read a lot about it on the internet

...and now I feel even safer living near NPP.

I sadly moved away for unrelated reasons, but I'd move to a similar place in a heartbeat. Turns out that requirements to actually build a NPP(access to water, seismic activity etc) are quite strict and make for a good place to live overall.

I would think that the closer you are to a nuclear power plant the further you are from a coal power plant so you would want to live as close as possible. Just don’t try to build your house inside the fence or the power plant will become significantly more dangerous.
