My point is that we really don't know every possible disaster scenario
connected with nuclear power plants. There are people who claim
otherwise,
but it wasn't that long ago that airplanes took down a couple of
office
buildings, which nobody really expected.

We don't know every possible disaster scenario connected with supper.
That is a way too high bar to set.


The odds of there being a fire in my home are pretty low. Does this mean
I
should make all the windows impossible to open, since the odds of having
to
escape through a window are so low?

No, but that is an easily known disaster scenario that will occur
with enough frequency to plan for in an effective way. A few light years
from the "don't know every possible disaster scenario" your posts
suggests is the criteria for nuclear power plants. A decision to not
allow houses because there might be a fire and window that is stuck is
closer to that.


I think it's safe to say that nobody else in this discussion spent any time
in Long Island during the Shoreham debacle.
