Using open source software is nothing like building a reactor based on an open source design...

  This is true by definition - no 2 things are the exact same (otherwise its the same thing), but the same priciples might apply here as well.

  No but the idea of scientific journals for example is that there's a wider science community which collaboratively iterates. It's the same thing which has happened for engineered artifacts such as 3d printers. A world where the nuclear industry has a common best Practice design for each reactor, overseen by a steering committee of experts ala the Linux kernel, could actually lead to some progress and allow building some coherent and verifiable narratives about safety.
