A
They underestimated the inherent risks of nuclear fission, including human error and unforeseen disasters, which can lead to meltdowns.
B
They correctly concluded that modern technology can eliminate the risk of nuclear fission meltdowns.
C
They should have focused on the benefits of nuclear fusion, not fission, as a safe alternative.
D
They should have concluded that nuclear fission is always accompanied by a high risk of meltdown, regardless of technology.
