Down to here you spoke a great deal of sense. However, you are

During abnormal operation it has been known to happen :-(

Indeed. Very many untoward things happen during abnormal operation of
complicated systems. In the UK, there has been a vastly larger number
of deaths associated with the production of electricity from
coal-fired stations than by nuclear driven stations.
