Actually, yes.
1) Don't use crappy Soviet reactors like Chernobyl; this should be a no-brainer.
2) Don't locate a nuclear power plant in a place where it can be flooded easily.
Other than the crappy Chernobyl reactor, I don't know of any inherently dangerous reactor designs, especially in Western nations.
- waste_monk 7y agoAFAIK most modern designs are fail-safe, e.g. with passive features like control rods suspended with electromagnets over the reactor - if activated (or if power fails) they simply fall in and kill the reaction.
