“Nuclear power must be well regulated, not ditched” https://www.economist.com/leaders/2021/03/06/nuclear-power-must-be-well-regulated-not-ditched
“The lesson of Fukushima is not to eschew nuclear power, it is to use it wisely. “ says The Economist.
The lesson we learned from Fukushima and Chernobyl is that “to use it wisely” is a pipe dream.
Assume an organization where all the staff are wise. As soon as it has a not-so-wise boss, the whole organization becomes unwise and collectively unable to “use it wisely”.
Humans remain humans. This is the lesson that we learnt from history.
