We are scary good at it actually. For example check out this and think about the architects who started vs those who finished it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Cathedral

I was actually going to reply with something similar, but I don't think this stacks up to the damage that can be unleashed in a nuclear accident. Building this took a few lifetimes. Nuclear accidents can have effects that are orders of magnitude larger and longer.

I am not sure something built by the catholic church, one of few institutions that lasted for the last 2k years, is the perfect example.

Unless we plan on getting the pope to build nuclear power plants, which does sound cool.
