All of it. Your reasoning perfectly matches that of the fossil fuel industry. They also feel that turning off the "existing and undamaged source(s) of power generation" provided by their industry is irrational paranoia. Similar to you they believe that they should be the only arbiters of what society writ large should deem risky. Just like you they do not want to take responsibility for the cascade of economic consequences that result from failures of their technology. And just like the fossil fuel industry, the nuclear industry is motivated to their position on risk purely through selfish profit motives.
