There is already an incredible amount of effort done to prevent accidents. The problem nuclear faces is similar to the problem COVID vaccines face: No scientist or engineer with integrity can guarantee 100% safety.
Should we tell the public simple messages like: "Trust me dude, it is super super super safe!", or should we tell the public a nuanced story of calculated risks? I don't know whether the last strategy will work, but the first strategy has failed both nuclear and COVID vaccination. In my country we are in a lock down again, because too few people are vaccinated.
