Perhaps being a little radioactive isn’t as bad as the billions that could die from climate change. In the 90’s I shared a long cab ride between airports with a nuclear engineer who said he specialized in “cleanups”. I asked what he thought about the next generation of plant design. He spent the rest of the ride recounting a half dozen horror stories about how nothing about the hardware or design was easy but human factors could turn perfectly safe processes into accidents. He said you could never engineer out human error, panic behavior and blindspots.
