> that doesn't make the research itself irresponsible

This seems like an absurd conclusion. If research isn't done responsibly in practice, and results in disaster, then the risks aren't worth it.

Not only is it absurd, there has been no documented value that we derived from this research. Totally useless and totally destructive.
That’s an absurd conclusion.

We’ve had nuclear accidents before. Should we abandon all nuclear research, since in practice there are accidents?
