That's somewhat my point as well. There's no perfect world, there will be human errors and there will be natural disasters, but the point with newer reactor designs, is that they have design decisions in them that account for such issues, we have learned from the past, so that even a meltdown can be contained relatively well.

well depends, even the safest system can have a bug. especially the more complex a system gets. I mean look at all the software bugs.
I wouldn't count on human technology on catastrophic failures and sadly most humans make errors in situations that we can't control.
