Except of course that nuclear power plants have the normal, programmable

fail-safe mechanical systems. And the designs, calculations and

Control Engineers that do the designs, the Safety Engineers that oversee
the documenting of the safety systems, their equivalents in multiple
companies working on the project and finally the Office for Nuclear
Regulation.

Yet 'accidents' have happened?

More people have been killed in motorcycle accidents than by nuclear
power generation, but that didn't stop your biking years, did it?
