I think nuclear power safety has improved significantly over what they had in the USSR 40 years ago.

That's fine, but even if it was 100% safe, a centralized energy source can be taken over (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaporizhzhia_Nuclear_Power_Plant#2022_Russian_occupation_of_the_plant) or destroyed (like a lot of other Ukrainian energy infrastructure) and then, people are without energy. Decentralized energy solves that problem.

Destroying or taking over 1 nuclear power plant is far easier than taking over or destroying the solar panels on every house in a country.
