Sigh. I made it clear in the first comment that I don't disagree with you. I would love to see wider adoption of nuclear power. The sentence that you wrote was inaccurate, and I felt that more accurate wording would improve the quality of the debate. I don't see the point in engaging any further on this.
I also don't understand why the number of people that have died in nuclear accidents only in the US is a remotely useful metric in the context of the discussion.
Leaving out the two most significant accidents in the history of the technology shouldn't be the default...
Given that there’s approximately one country left in the world where that’s the case, I suspect the root cause is not a technical issue.
There is nothing that remotely resembles AI in the cockpit of any current airliner. All flight control logic including autopilot, autothrottle, TCAS & GPWS, ILS & autoland, and so on are based on simple feedback loops and programming techniques that go back decades.
