Is a country without nuclear energy safer?

Not necessarily.

Not having nuclear plants eliminates some domestic risks: accidents, waste, physical security of facilities. But it may increase other risks: dependence on imports, use of fossil fuels, exposure to gas prices, emissions, and pollution. Furthermore, cross-border accidents do not respect national borders. Energy security is multidimensional: technology, supply, climate, public health, and grid resilience.
