Sorry, can't make that argument after Fukushima unless there is foolproof passive safety like a LFTR plug.
A problem with organizationally managed safety is just the human error problem, and two that human organizations come to resent and undermine regulations, particularly at the management level. This attitude is rite in the nuclear industry in America, and similarly from what I can tell from tepco management of Fukushima.
Nuclear needs a scalable price competitive meltdown proof full fuel usage reactor. I think LFTR, materials issues aside, is the solution, but possibly even that won't be able to compete long term with solar wind even with miraculous materials engineering.
