Consider that the level of security for nuclear warheads you've just described costs money. Tons of money.
Now contrast this:
If security really were the issue with nuclear, it would be easily solved.
with this:
I know you said we don't actually build "modern" reactors, but ANY design of reactor can fail, because people run them, boards that demand profit oversee management, and sometimes people fly airplanes into buildings.
If it cuts into profits, someone will want to cut costs - and corners. That's what frightens me, personally. Not that we can't make things secure, technically. It's human nature at it's worst that will cause a reactor to blow up or be blown up, not problems due to lack of understanding of the science behind it.
Solar can provide about 5% of our energy needs, but for the vast majority of our power, we can choose between oil, coal, natural gas, or nuclear.

Solid logic, espcially considering that thinking about something and actually doing it is the same thing!
Oh wait, that means we have to arrest Stephen King and his evil kin of thought criminals!
