safer nuke will never be absolutely safe nuke.

could a nuke plant be built that would survive intact and leak free a

its fine to make them less likely to melt down.

but the real design should be a plant that even if it melts down
remains intact and leak free

Agreed, but that's just not possible. It's like the 'unsinkable' ship,
or the car that will never kill its occupants; fine on paper, but just
not practical. Making them less failure-prone just makes them more
expensive and they're already subject to extremely high subsides.
