If you're really worried about radioactive releases into the ocean, why don't you start with couple hundred thousand barrels the US military dumped into several dumping sites across the world. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of chemical weapons dumped along with them.
Radiophobia is what's really behind it all. Nuclear power isn't going anywhere. There are environmental impacts in any type of power production, and there are viable plans to contain the waste. Yucca Mt. has been ready for years, but politics has kept it shut down all while billions were spent letting Congress argue about it ineffectually.
Granted I work in the field so my opinion is hardly objective, but I really think that nuclear power is a viable stop gap solution to meet increasing energy demands until fusion reactors become useful.
