If I remember correctly, the thing that killed Fukushima was the wave of water from the ocean killing the water pumps at the ocean's edge. And there was no backup water supply. So it isn't necessarily true that nuclear power is not safe, it is it's relationship to the environment and how it is constructed. I guess there was no anticipation of such a significant event. Which I suppose is an indicator of the failure mode. It isn't the technology itself, it is unforseen accidents. Which is how any technology evolves: newer generations improve due to observations of past mistakes.
