Seeing that they need quite a lot of clean water, which is not widely available everywhere during the entire year in big amounts, especially with these droughts due to climate change.

    No shit.

    The solution there is that ideally no human is allowed to make a mistake significant enough to have any impact.

    If Bob the nuclear engineer does something fucking stupid, but there’s an automated failsafe that resolves the problem… was there really that big of a problem?

    This issue is… that stuff gets expensive quick.

      Sure. The idea is plausible. They have tried such strategies, and improved them for several decades, and they seriously believed that all would be good enough. But Chernobyl and Fukushima have taught us that it is not possible to do it without super terrible accidents that cost simply too much (money, lives, health etc). So, we know now that mankind is not able.
