Wild Card's description: 

Although the risk of a severe accident of a nuclear power plant is extremely low, it is still not a zero-risk. In the past, at least two major accidents of nuclear power plants occurred – in Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, which had a tremendous global impact on attitude of the public towards risks linked with the nuclear energy. Severe accidents of a nuclear power plant in the future would have again a tremendous impact and in turn would have negative impact also on future development of the whole sector.
