Okay, so once in 1,000 years isn't enough. I'll buy that, especially where an accident's effect can last for up to a century.
So, how about once in 10,000 years? Once in 100,000 years? That's on the level of meteor strikes, and I can't think of any power plant that could withstand those.
I think that "never" is as impractical as "two years from now."
