I am surprised that a community like HN where a large percentage consists of developers is so positive about a nuclear power plant.

One bug could lead to severe damage to everything and everyone around a nuclear power plant. We see those kind of bugs on the front page daily.

In my opinion it is absolutely irresponsible to start them up in the first. I have seen too much to actually trust in people always getting their shit right.

Maybe because we can also check data, like https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy

https://ourworldindata.org/low-carbon-technologies-need-far-...

Or just looking at the cost of entire french fleet per court of auditors vs german EEG fund alone?

We can engineer planes to function extremely reliably. And power plants operate in more predictable environments than planes.
