Yeah because what happened 40+ years ago with Soviet Union military technology is totally what should guide current day policy because they both have 'nuclear' in the name.

What hasn't changed are the disproportionate consequences should disaster strike, and the emergent tendencies of energy utilities towards corruption, incompetence, and corner cutting.

Eventually somebody running a plant will screw up, and when they do, the harm will be worse than a wind tower falling over.
