it's a ridiculous suggestion because 1) the workers at nuclear plants already risk their lives to help out when it's out of control 2) nuclear is so expensive

it's a ridiculous suggestion because
1) the workers at nuclear plants already risk their lives to help out when it's out of control
2) nuclear is so expensive to clean up that they run for decades after the initial design, presumably many of the initial designers are dead, and every incremental change should involve a suicide pact?
Remuneration for such an undertaking would have to go up by a large multiple to make such work attractive.

The cost of operating the plant would have to take into account what are currently deemed externalities. If that turned out to make the plant too expensive to run, that's the market.
