It's great! Except for those used radioactive materials taking hundreds of years to become safe, and a documented failure of modern human society to handle long-term problems, and especially to maintain a culture of safety longer than a few decades. And except for reactor failures rendering large chunks of land uninhabitable for decades. When I started off as a developer, I would routinely forget to check for null pointers, because my underlying assumption was that nobody would pass a null pointer. Years later, and now my underlying assumption is: if it can happen, it will. I assume my functions will be given bad input. Likewise, I assume there will be catastrophic nuclear failures and failures in storing the waste. (For instance, look at the bad incentives that PG&E gets and how they respond, with the result that PG&E equipment starts a lot of fires. Would you want PG&E running nuclear power plants with the current culture?) Am I willing to live with those? Well, it's a hard sell.
