Nuclear power plants are too big to be built and run by one person. While I might be willing to make the pledge for my own work why should I die because the knucklehead in the next cube makes a mistake, or an operator does something stupid, or a plane crashes into the reactor, or terrorist blow up the plant? There are just too many what ifs that are not within any single person's control.

I'm not entirely sure this is a good idea, but it might increase safety just a little. A tiny probability that a lot of people won't die is a net benefit. And if an incident did happen, a few extra innocent people dying is barely anything to worry about. Especially if it helps at preventing it from happening at all. I don't think it will ever happen, but I think it's a good idea.
