There is no such thing as fool proof, the only question is what is the consequence when something inevitably goes wrong, I was condemned for saying I wasnt worried about deaths before but the sad truth is a whole bunch of people dying is sad, Covid is sad but we will always recover from that within a few generations where as there is no recovery from a catastrophic nuclear failure, it poisons the earth for centuries, as low as the risk of a failure is the vast long term negative effects of it just arent worth the cost of something that has and will continue to happen
