npub17l53azm7tjr03tqm4mszgnls9thk9h5asr5c0eawgkaeurg75fjse6za2f (npub17l5…za2f) These days you can design a nuclear power plant to be passively fail-safe. The failures of active safety measures (like what happened at Fukushima) would only represent a money and paperwork problem. All of our oldest plants have been upgraded to be as redundantly safe as possible, but with the new plants you can just remove all the cooling (the problem Fukushima had) and nothing interesting would happen.
