It's a matter of perception of risk.

Opponents of nuclear power have successfully propagandized risks out of all
proportion compared to other risks.

There are many more rational things to worry about, including a rogue state
or terror group acquiring CW, BW. And, CW and BW are much easier to make/get
than nuclear stuff. If you can brew beer, you can make crude BW agents.
Furthermore BW spreads by itself.

The world has not really seen a serious BW incident AFAIK, but antibiotic
resistant strains are rampant in US healthcare. A serious BW attack would
make those issues seem trivial.

Furthermore, nuclear materials can be detected pretty easily. AFAIK, there
are no readily available detectors for virii or bacteria.

Scientists do nobody any favors by overblowing some risks to fit their
political agenda.
