Default Safety of Nuke Power


No, I've seen the effects stupid people can have on even the simplest
operations. Plus, I can't at this moment think of a single incident at a
nuclear power facility that wasn't caused by stupidity. Not even one single
incident caused by an actual materials or design failure runs through my
mind.


and how do you guarantee a stupid person in the future wouldnt create
a disaster.

one tech looking for air leaks caused a electrical fire in the control
cables....

top of reactor core nearly ate thru, one and i believe it was around
the great lakes, a water deflector came loose and blocked cooling
water, the nearly brand new reactor nearly melted down and was
permanetely shut down and encased in a oncrete vault.

how many old reactors have been shut down, disassembled and the ground
cleaned up, core sent for proper disposal?
